Outreach to our Community
Collection for the York County Shelter Food Pantry
We take a special offering on the first Sunday of each month for the York County Shelter Food Pantry. Many times the shelves are very sparse or empty, and we believe that we can help to fill them by bringing a non-perishable food item every week as part of our regular offerings.
In addition to collecting food each week, during the summer months a garden, here at the church is sowed with fresh vegetables and given to the Shelter as it becomes available.
