Grove Christian Outreach Center

Food is love. Food is how we show up for each other. It's how we gather around the household together. Food is more than just how we nourish our bodies. It's how we nourish our souls.

Who are we? Grove Christian Outreach Center is a nonprofit, built by people passionate about this community. While we were founded to serve the Grove community alone, we've expanded to serve the greater Williamsburg community. Why? Because our mission calls us to. Our mission calls us to lifting up our neighbors who feel unseen. Watch. Listen. Learn more about the Grove Christian Outreach Center.

Let’s share more smiles and spread love in our community! ??
