We all are responsible to help others in need.  Hosanna! takes the Bible to heart and partners with dozens of other ministry organizations to impact both our surrounding community and the world in Christian love and support.  Jesus Himself said that He came to serve others, not to be served.  We can do nothing less. 

Hosanna! has won awards for our various community service efforts - and we welcome you to participate! There are one-time special serving projects, ongoing service efforts and international initiatives taking place year-round.
