Community involvement is a big part of who we are here at North Oaks. Our members love to volunteer in the local community. If you are looking for a way to make a difference, get plugged in with our Community Involvement ministry. Below are a few of our recent projects. Don’t see something you’d like to do here? We are always looking for more ways to get involved…so share your ideas and join in the fun!
Help the Child
This organization assists families in the SCV with food and clothing. Our primary assistance is with food collection. We have a container in the foyer for such food and personal items. We also ask for food and personal items from customers at the Food for Less off of Soledad twice a year (usually March-April and September).
Family Promise
This is a non-profit group which assists homeless families. We are part of the start off group here in the SCV. Family Promise is not yet functional but we've volunteered our former parsonage to be used as an office and training center for Family Promise. Once it becomes operational this year, North Oaks will be hosting four homeless families in our facility for four weeks each year and the parsonage will be in use 7 days a week from 7am -- 5pm.
Santa Clarita Valley Pregnancy Center
We participate in the Baby Bottle Fund Raiser which offers alternatives to abortions, prenatal care and reproduction education. The Baby Bottle Fund Raiser runs from Mother's Day to Father's Day. We usually have the highest percentage of returned bottles of any church in town.
River Rally Clean Up
This service activity is put on by the City of Santa Clarita and occurs in September. Our congregation signs up as a group each year to help clean up the SCV river bed.
Make a Difference Day
This service activity is also put on by the City of Santa Clarita and occurs in October.
