Red Bird Mission
Campbell Soup Labels are collected throughout the year to support the Red Bird Mission.  Red Bird Mission is a ministry in Appalachia.  The Mission runs a medical clinic and a school, in addition to numerous programs in health, housing and community outreach.  Every year they collect over 1.5 million labels.  The labels have helped them to save $475,000 in the purchase of resources, including vans.  Labels can be deposited in a box in Fellowship Hall.



Hillcrest House
Hillcrest House, the local homeless shelter, continues to be a community need.  A hearty meal for 12 is prepared by a team of church members.  Two volunteers serve the meal at Hillcrest House, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m.  The first Sunday of every month is our long-standing commitment.  Members of the congregation also donate men’s and women’s pajamas, robes, slippers, towels, blankets, toiletries, disposable razors, toothbrushes, combs, and brushes.  Donations can be left in the Fellowship Hall.  

The seasonal projects the church supports are:

Heifer Project
In the fall, our church collects funds for Heifer Project.  In the past, we have provided funds for rabbits, bees, and llamas.  Heifer provides livestock and training to families.  The livestock is a source of nutrition and income to help families escape hunger and poverty.  Heifer Project is also focusing on families affected by AIDS.  

CROP Hunger Walk
Every year, our church participates in CROP Walk to raise funds to fight hunger.  We walk to remember the millions of people who must walk every day for food, for water, to escape violence, to seek shelter, to find employment, to farm, and to survive.  Last year, the walk we participated in, raised the most funds in all of Metropolitan New York.
