Resources/Crisis Help

We all face seasons in life when we need care and support. Sometimes, the circumstances we're facing are especially difficult or urgent and require immediate help. In moments like these, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn or even where to begin. You don't have to navigate it alone. We're here to help.

Below is a list of professional and community resources that offer crisis care, counseling, and other support services. We hope these resources can help you find the care and support you need. As you consider these options, we encourage you to prayerfully evaluate each organization and determine whether its services and qualifications are appropriate for your specific needs. These resources are provided for your convenience and are not an endorsement or guarantee by Calvary Church of the qualifications, care, or services provided by any organization listed.

If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please do not hesitate. Call 911.

Calvary Care Food Pantry

We want to be a church that doesn't just talk about loving our neighbors but shows that love through practical generosity. If you're in a hard season, we want you to know you are seen, valued, and cared for.

How it works

How to get food: starting the first week of January, stop by the church offices during office hours (Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed 12 to 1 p.m.) and ask the front desk or our Pastoral Care team for a food bag.
Who it's for: Calvary families, anyone referred through Pastoral Care or Benevolence, and families in our community, including families from our school partners.
No paperwork: you don't need proof of income or residency, and there's no online sign-up.
What you'll receive: a bag of nonperishable groceries, plus hygiene products and household essentials when available.
How often: based on your situation and what the pantry has on hand.
