Trinity Presbyterian Food Ministry… Code Name “Out of the Box Ministries”. On March 2, 2008, Trinity Presbyterian Church launched a new Ministry providing boxes of food for local families. Thanks to the efforts of many people, the initial inauguration of our new ministry was a success. The first month, we made two deliveries: 1) our pilot project provided six boxes of food to area families; 2) our second delivery was to 10 Alyce Norman Elementary school families. Our hope is that we can continue to supplement these families' pantries on a monthly basis. During this pilot month, session has approved space and cabinets for food storage - and a willingness to expand the program. Our ongoing hope is to develop our capabilities as a caring organization to deliver more food, more care, and more love to more families.
On an ongoing basis, this ministry will need money, concern, creativity, and prayer. Take a minute this month to think about hunger and the effects each of us might have on an individual, on a family, on a community. Then think about some things that you could do to help or some people you could contact who would be interested in helping.
- Maybe you could donate $4.50 this month and provide 25 pounds of food to the program.
- Maybe you could donate $180 to the program to deliver 1000 pounds of food.
- Maybe you have a truck or SUV and can help ‘shop’ for the food in the afternoon
- Maybe you can help with packing boxes every third Sunday (click here to see pictures of food packing)
- Maybe you can help with delivering boxes.
- Maybe you have a minute during your commute to think about friends who might want to help, or
- Know about a family that could benefit from this ministry.
The possibilities are endless but the success of this ministry is contingent on God's will and Trinity Presbyterian Church bringing their talents, gifts, and creativity. Let's see what a little footwork can do!
