FAQ > General > In what ways does WoC help support the mission and outreach efforts of local congregations?
WoC can help resource a congregation looking for a mission project by connecting them with a local Foods Resource Bank growing project, a program that raises money to fund food security programs all over the world. Likewise, WoC promotes the Church World Service Blanket program and Gift of the Heart Kits in Disciples churches, as well as the Safe Motherhood Kit and Medicine Box programs of IMA World Health. WoC also helps connect congregations with people in need by supporting fair trade products through the Disciples Coffee Project, a partnership with Equal Exchange. WoC supports congregational efforts to live out our call to care for "the least of these," providing resources and materials for worship, education and the WoC special offering season, and by providing grants for groups to engage in work trips domestically and internationally.
