COMMUNITY OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
Making a difference in San Diego and Baja California
Many of the members of CCC are making a difference in the San Diego community through helping others in their professions: working with the disabled, in medicine or in social work. Four Clairemont Covenant families are currently serving as foster parents.

Interfaith Shelter
For two weeks every year Clairemont Covenant Church serves as a homeless shelter for up to 12 people. Almost everyone in the congregation helps to provide housing, food, hygiene items, and sometimes toys, trying to help our “guests” to help themselves. The Network provides detailed instructions and clients who have been carefully screened by social workers. We cooperate with Clairemont Lutheran Church and St. David’s Episcopal Church in the ”Clairemont Rotation”, with each church housing guests for two weeks.
The Interfaith Shelter Network is a 20 year-old collaborative of religious, social service and governmental organizations in San Diego County, sponsored by the San Diego Ecumenical Council.

Mexicali Outreach
Every spring a team of adults and high school and college students participates in Azusa Pacific University’s Mexicali Outreach. They spend a week camping in the Mexicali area, conducting a vacation Bible school in a local church and helping with a service project. For more information see the “Youth Ministry” section of this website.
Project Mercy
Several Saturdays a year teams from Clairemont Covenant travels to Baja California to build houses for the poor. The projects are organized so that one or more houses can be built in one day. Volunteers are needed for construction and painting.
