Sleep in heavenly peace...No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in our Town.
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Rochester and across the US, too many boys and girls go without a bed—or even a pillow—to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health. After listening to a sermon on James 3, Shawn and Donna Ritchie felt led by the Holy Spirit to “put their faith into action” and start a local chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace (SHP) - a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need, a great way to show God’s love to local families in a very tangible way .
Many at Eastside have joined this mission, by volunteering for one of the monthly bed builds, deliveries, or by donating pillows, sheet sets and blankets for the kids. It brings us great joy to work alongside our friends and family to help out our neighbors in need. Won't you consider joining us?.

Reach-Out Food Drive
On the first Sunday of every month, we collect non-perishable food items, paper products, and personal hygiene items to donate to our local Perinton Food Shelf. It's our way of meeting a very basic need of our neighbors who may find themselves in a tight place financially.
Perinton Food Shelf provides an updated list of needs every few months, so check the latest list in the Eastside Church App or Banner Slide on our Homepage.
