Berea City of Hope routinely gives back to the city of Ypsilanti as the grocery giveaway happens every third Saturday of each month.

The church is currently accepting donations for its annual coat drive which takes place on Dec. 7. They aim to give away 100 to 250 new children’s coats to those who need a warm coat through the winter months.
