Every year, WCOD prepares Thanksgiving dinners which are distributed to assisted living and nursing homes, and to people with food insecurities.   WCOD has been offering this important ministry to communities in metro Detroit for over 41 years.   

Many volunteers are needed during the week of Thanksgiving to help prepare and cook the meals, package and deliver the meals and clean up afterward.  There are many different days and shifts to choose from.  Click here to sign up. 

Many hands make light work!

Nutritious lunches served to the elderly, the lonely, families and individuals with needs, the homeless, and adult foster care residents.

We assist people with needs by linking and networking with congregations, agencies, and organizations in our communities to provide various types of help, assistance, and support throughout the metro-Detroit area.

We collect pop tabs for The Ronald McDonald House Charities Detroit, Pop Tab Program. This important program provides extra revenue for them that helps make up for the donations that families cannot make when they stay.   Every year the Ronald McDonald House in Detroit serves nearly 2,000 families offering them a place of rest, privacy, and comfort at a time when they need it the most. Please continue to bring pull tabs of any size and any amount and place them in the labeled container located on the table outside the church office.
