Special Announcement!
We have officially partnered with Foothills Family Resources! Trailside Church's Care & Outreach Ministry has partnered with Foothills Family Resources in Slater-Marietta, SC to better serve the North Greenville community, but especially Travelers Rest, Slater-Marietta, Cleveland, and toward Pickens communities. Foothills Family Resources has been serving local families in Northern Greenville County since 1986 and provides a wide variety of services, up to and including vocational rehabilitation, job readiness skills/courses, a food pantry, GED preparation, assistance with applying for WIC, EBT/Food Stamps, and Medicaid, rent and utility assistance, and more. Through our partnership, we hope to continue to pave an uncharted way forward for those in need by showing the fullness of the love of Christ alongside like-minded and missionally called organizations. It is an honor to serve alongside FFR!
