Justice & Mercy
Micah 6:8 says this, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” This page shows a number of the ways we as a church live out this calling and how you can get involved.
Food Bags
These bags are filled with nonperishable food items like pasta, cereal, soup, canned goods, and more. Some items require a can opener, stove, and/or basic cooking items to prepare. Bags are limited to one bag per household, per month. The food bags are available for pickup one Wednesday per month at Harvest Vineyard Church, 320 South 17th Street Ames, IA 50010. Please check the link below for specific dates, more information, and to sign up.
Neighbor Aid Kits
These are designed for people without consistent access to a kitchen. Contain non-perishable food items and basic toiletry necessities. They are packaged in a water-tight bag. These are available for pickup anytime the church is open. You’re also welcome to take one to keep in your car and give away when you see a person in need.
Community Partners
One of the ways we put our desire to be "one of the best friends of our city" is to resource the organizations that are faithfully serving and restoring people in our community. We get a taste of God's Kingdom when the hungry are fed, the homeless have a bed, parents and children are well cared for, and people are redeemed out of slavery. We partner together to bring more of the Kingdom to our city. Please check out these amazing organizations.
Vineyard Justice Network
The Vineyard Justice Network (VJN) exists to empower Vineyard pastors and leaders to pursue and enact the justice of God's Kingdom. VJN will equip you by connecting the work of heart, head, and hands with key issues of structural injustice and leadership.
