See below on how we practically walk this out in our community and beyond.
We at the Vineyard want to see hunger end, not only in our own community but globally. To that end, we partner with organizations who are already dedicated to this cause.
WEEKLY DRIVE THROUGH FOOD PANTRY
In partnership with the Weld County Food Bank, we make a dent in hunger in our own community through our weekly drive up pantry. We partner, not only financially, but also practically, though providing weekly food boxes and survival kits for UNC students at finals.
WELD FOOD BANK
“To lead and engage our community in the fight against hunger” Weld Food Bank is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization which alleviates hunger and poverty by providing food and services to people in need. We are a private non-profit organization and are not a part of county government. We work to educate the public about the nature of hunger and poverty. We recognize the need for emergency and supplemental food programs and of other non-profit organizations that meet the critical needs of low-income families. When we provide our services we strive to do so with compassion and respect for the dignity of the people seeking food assistance. Last year we provided over 14.6 million pounds of food to the hungry in Weld County.
TURKEY BASKETS
Every Thanksgiving we strive to help families in need by providing baskets full of all the Thanksgiving day
Convoy of Hope
Convoy of Hope is a faith-based, non profit organization with a driving passion to feed the world through children's feeding initiatives, community outreach and disaster response. In partnership with local church, business, civic organization, and government agencies, Convoy strategically offers help and
hope to communities around the world.
CHRISTMAS OFFERING
During our Christmas Eve 2022 service, we took an offering to help eliminate school lunch debt remaining in our local schools. We were so please to raise over $1000 that will help families still carrying a balance on their school lunch accounts.

Justice is something that is not only at the center of our hearts at the Vineyard, but we believe God is making all things right and new. We want to partner with God to see justice come to our families, community and to the ends of the earth. For this, we have partnered with specific organizations who are bringing justice to the city of Greeley and also globally.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR REFUGEES (IARF)
IAFR is an international Christian mission agency designed for ministry in humanitarian contexts among forcibly displaced people. They help displaced people survive, providing basic needs like food, clothing and shelter and recover with a supportive community, life-giving faith and emotional healing. They also provide training to churches and people wanting to get involved in helping refugees.
ZOE'S CAFE
In 2011, things radically changed when a team of 20 eager travelers ventured from Zoe’s to a coffee farm in Villa Rica, Peru. Their abrupt introduction to coffee farming in the Amazon jungle included lots of mud, little knowledge, and being changed by huge hearts of the welcoming Quispe family and resulted in a powerful and mutually benefiting impact that relationally traded coffee could have both for their lives and for ours. We proudly serve Zoe's Mama Nelly's Peruvian coffee here at the Greeley Vineyard as small way to support justice to the end's of the earth

Today we see more brokenness, hurt and disconnection at home. We believe that when families are supported, loved and encouraged they truly can fill their God given mission, to love the world around them. At the Vineyard, we not only want to equip and encourage our families within our church, but we want to see our community and families all over the world reconciled and strengthened.
