Members of the Portland church participate in an ongoing benevolent outreach by collecting and distributing food and household supplies to needy families. A list of suggested supplies is posted on bulletin boards around the church, and people make donations as they feel led, leaving them at a designated drop-off point at the church. Some years during the Christmas holiday season, a Giving Tree has provided an opportunity for church members to anonymously provide Christmas gifts for children in need. Hundreds of children have benefited through this program since its inception.

Workers in the 1940s sort through food, clothing, and household supplies donated for a relief effort in postwar Germany.
