Direct Food
The Presbytery supports its Care Closets with the purchase of grocery store gift certificates and holiday meals. In addition, through Presbytery Potato Projects, we arrange for the trucking of surplus potatoes to Philadelphia (in partnership with the Society of St. Andrew), available to any agencies feeding the hungry. Church members support these initiatives through specific contributions, maintaining the Cents-Ability offering, and volunteering to help at distributions of food.
