Donate Items

At First Baptist Church of San Mateo, we believe that giving goes beyond finances. Your donated items help us serve our congregation, our community, and the ministries God has called us to. Every item donated — no matter how big or small — is a blessing and makes a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." — 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)
