Program areas at Citychurch Outreach Ministry
Citykid cafe: fill a bag, feed a child. At the citykid cafe, volunteers prepare and deliver food to several neighborhoods of amarillo. Over 2,000 lunches per day, monday-thursday are delivered. Volunteers and city church staff prepare each lunch. The lunches consist of a hot item, fruit, cookies, and popcorn. The bags are loaded into trailers and delivered by van or by bicycle to the neighborhoods where city church concentrates its Ministry. The lunch is usually met with a smile and excitment from the child or teen who receives it. The children who receive the lunch begin to look forward to it and depend on it. City church also hosts summer mission groups. Each year city church hosts over 700 missionaries and volunteers who come to learn about Ministry in the inner-city. Lunches are also fed during spring break and some school holidays. Citykid cafe's bike delivery program has grown. It is a fuel saving, fun, environmentally friendly way to take children their lunches during the summer. Cafekid cafe also feeds the children of city church academy.
