Mission Initiatives
Ongoing Programs:
- Participation in Bridges Outreach Program: Several members of the church gather once a month to make lunches for the homeless. These brown bag lunches are delivered to the Summit office of Bridges Outreach where they are then hand delivered to homeless in Irvington, NYC, and Newark. (www.bridgesoutreach.org) See the calendar for our next date! We are collecting donations juice packets, snacks, and fruit cups. Please contact Jean with any questions or donations.
- Mile of Pennies: Change (and more) collected during Coffee Hour supports scholarships for Kenyan students. We’re into our fourth year/mile! Please help us reach our goal of $844.80.
- Food Pantry: Items may be left in baskets marked "Food Pantry." They are delivered regularly to the food pantry across the street.
- Toiletries: Full-sized bars of soap, and “courtesy” sizes of shampoo, conditioner, soap, and shower caps are donated to various causes. Place on the pew inside Pollard Hall.
- Sneaker Project: Place used pairs of sneakers (any size) on the pew inside Pollard Hall. To date, we have collected over 100 pairs, which are sent to the Somerset Food Bank.
- Eyeglasses, Sunglasses, and Cell Phones: Place used glasses and cell phones on the table outside Pollard Hall.
- Yarn & Cotton Material: Yarn is used to make lap robes for wounded veterans; any color is acceptable. Fabric (with the exception of wool and stretchables) of about half a yard is used to make small bears for children, totes for wheelchair patients, etc. Place on pew inside Pollard Hall.
