Community Services

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.” Proverbs 3:27. The AJ SDA church is very active in serving God's children. We encourage everyone to give back, pull others up, lend a helping hand, and provide unselfish service in the spirit of Christ. 

Dial 211: Tell others! By simply dialing 211 in AZ, those in need of assistance can be referred and connected to appropriate agencies and community organizations.

Ongoing Russia/Ukraine Conflict: To learn more about ADRA’s Ukraine response or make donations to assist with Relief efforts in Ukraine and around the world, visit adra.org

Blood and Plasma Needed: Donations are needed more than ever. Become a donor today! The American Red Cross reminds us that it’s critically important to maintain a stable blood supply this spring and summer to support those with chronic illnesses and other blood needs in the U.S. To help ensure patients have access to the blood products they count on, donors are urged to make an appointment by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). When you donate plasma, you give a valuable gift to those who require plasma-derived therapies to live healthier lives. You are also rewarded for donating and leave with the knowledge that you’re making a real difference in someone else’s life! Go to https://www.cslplasma.com/ or call 1-866-275-6800 for more information.

 Genesis Project: Thank you for your continuous support and donations to this worthy organization in Apache Junction. Their volunteer-driven mission is to meet the basic needs of the hungry, homeless, and vulnerable people in our community while offering a clear path to self-sufficiency through hand-ups rather than hand-outs!

Eyeglasses for the Needy: In 2021, we donated approximately 280 pairs of prescription glasses to the Recycle for Sight Program! Eyeglasses collected help improve the quality of life for children and adults living in low-and middle-income communities around the world. Drop off your used eyeglasses in the plastic bin with the blue top in the church lobby.

Feed My Starving Children: We support this ministry at the facility located in Mesa that serves the world. Each day, this org distributes meals in schools, orphanages, clinics and feeding programs around the world to deliver hope and break the cycle of poverty. While covid brought some logistics challenges, we look forward to helping with MannaPack meals this year.

Mats and Blankets: Thank you to all those who make awesome mats for the homeless and supply blankets. Mats and blankets provide a level of comfort & protection from laying on the ground.

We have many projects during the year, so please pray for our ministry, the people served, and others who need to be reached. If you have questions or suggestions, contact us at: 480-593-5790 or email ajcommunityservices@gmail.com
