April 8th |  6 - 8:30PM

First Fruit Ministries wouldn't exist without it's volunteers. We are so profoundly grateful for each and every one of the generous people that give their time to this ministry and its people, who embody God's unconditional love in their service here day after day, week after week, month after month - for coming up on thirty years.

Our volunteers are truly the cream of the crop. We wish we could adequately celebrate them every day of the year, but we're so excited to devote the evening of April 8th to showering this wonderful community with love and gratitude.

If you're one of our volunteers, get ready to party!
