We are collecting Non-perishable items to donate to those in need due to the government shutdown. You can place your donations in the box by the Pastor’s office.

Each year New Era donates Thanksgiving meals to members and local families in need. The request forms are now available at the church. You can fill out a form for yourself or recommend someone to receive a meal. Please note if you recommend a family, we ask that you deliver to them as well. We are also accepting donations to provide supplemental pantry items with each Thanksgiving box.

This month we will partner with Matthew 25 ministries to meet the needs of those in Jamaica impacted by Hurricane Melissa. Personal care items, cleaning supplies, and water are examples of items needed. More details about collection times will be available soon.

We will also accept financial donations for the activities mentioned to feed the needy, provide Thanksgiving meals, and Jamaica relief. Please mark your donations as “food relief”, “thanksgiving”, or “Jamaica”. Financial donations can be dropped off at the church, 1120 Yankee Road, or submitted through Cash App: $NewEraBaptistOhio , or Easytithe.com/NEBC.
