We partner with several local organizations whose focus is on the homeless, near-homeless, at-risk women, men, and children and the food-insecure population in our area. They are experts in their ministry areas, so we find ways to serve with them.
Who Can Serve?
Anyone! We’d love for you to take a first step into serving within our community whether you’re serving with your small group, your family, or individually.
The CFBOC is committed to being a hand up to individuals and families that need help but have fallen through the cracks of our governmental social services programs and our community. CFBOC provides free food to meet the individual’s immediate need while assessing the root issues that are causing the need to exist.
When you volunteer with the CFBOC, you may be sorting or bagging food items, visiting with clients and assisting them with food selection, and assisting them to their car with their groceries. To see current volunteer opportunities please click here.

Mercy Mall is a FREE boutique where families and individuals can shop for clothing, shoes, housewares and baby items. They give away a few food and toiletry items to each family during their appointment. They are not a monthly or regular “thrift store” experience, but rather a place for those in crisis situations to get their immediate needs met.
You can sign up to volunteer to organize items, clean the facility, make repairs, or work in the boutique. You can also accept and sort donated items or help process financial donations. Check out volunteer opportunities and schedules by clicking on the link to Mercy Mall’s website just above on the right!
Freekind is a non-profit, Christian faith-based organization that works locally and nationally to eradicate human trafficking. They are committed to protecting at-risk youth by educating them about human trafficking through their nationally award-winning Prevention Project™ program. They further engage the communities they serve through speaking engagements, in-depth trainings and prayer. Freekind is wholly supported through the voluntary generosity of individuals, churches, foundations, and businesses.

Since 2016, volunteers have been active in the Richmond City Justice Center and the Chesterfield County Jail. They hold hope until their friends are strong enough to hold on to it for themselves. They welcome additional volunteers to join them in the Richmond City Justice Center and the Chesterfield County Jail. You can participate as champions in their Jobs for Life programs twice a year or in one of their growing Life Transformation Discipleship groups.
