WE HAVE A HEART FOR KIDS
Our Collaborative Efforts Help Kids
Formed in 1999, Common Ground is an alliance of 3 churches who desire to improve the well-being of children at six schools in Spring Valley, CA. By combining our talents and resources, we believe we can make a greater impact.

Meeting Critical Needs
Common Ground works with the principals and staff at six elementary schools in Spring Valley, California to identify emergency food, clothing, or housing needs. We provide boxes of food at Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break and an adopt-a-family program at Christmas.
. . .And More
Our mission also includes offering enrichment programs for students. We distribute books for kids to take home and host teas and luncheons at several of the schools. We help arrange for music, dance and drama assemblies when possible, and assemble bicycles for the Bikes 4 Kids program at an elementary school each year.
OUR LATEST PROJECT(S)
Even though the pandemic has put restrictions on in-person gatherings and service projects, Common Ground has been able to provide gift cards to families for Thanksgiving and the December holiday season -- reaching 187 children for the December holidays!
In February 2022 we delivered books to students at Highlands Elementary as part of our Books 4 Kids program. In April 2022, we delivered 110 boxes of food to the schools. Families were grateful for this "helping hand" to get them through the 2-week long spring break when their children wouldn't have access to breakfast and lunch at school.
