Serve Moses Lake Clearinghouse

We are an advocacy to provide agency referrals, prayer support and encouragement. Currently we only provide services to Moses Lake residents. Serve Moses Lake receives calls from potential clients for a variety of assistance needs; financial, clothing, food, furniture, housing, non-food pantry items, and homeless outreach, etc. All our funds are provided by local churches and other community donors. In most cases a referral is recommended and clients must schedule an intake appointment.

  • We verify the circumstances and needs of our clients.
  • We attempt to provide a comprehensive plan of action.
  • We make referrals to other crucial local agencies and resources.
  • Help is limited for financial assistance and comes from the local churches, not our office.
  • Other in-house resources come from our generous community.

Care Sack Lunches

Serve Moses Lake partners with a team of volunteers in Moses Lake who put lunches together weekly to feed the homeless community. If you would like to help or want information, check the CARE website at caremoseslake.com.

Furniture & Household Ministry

Serve accepts donations of gently used furniture and household items that are clean and in good condition. A sample list is below. Once a client has met with an intake volunteer the client may request furniture. This is one of the highest areas and if items are available, we are happy to help with their request. In some cases a client was once homeless and have now secured permanent housing for their families. Our greatest need at this time is dressers, beds/mattresses (twin/full/queen).
