Bay Farm Church Students Serve Day

Join Bay Farm Church Students for a morning of serving our community at the Alameda County Community Food Bank! We'll work together to help provide food for neighbors in need and put the love of Jesus into action through practical service. Students, parents, and trusted adult leaders from our youth ministry are invited to participate.
