Mission Projects
The Pan Florida Power Backpack program, which provides food to children at a local elementary school each weekend.
We support Lely Elementary School by providing school uniforms and necessities for their emergency clothes closet in the spring and fall. We also provided personal hygiene items for the fifth graders to be used for their hygiene unit. We will provide turkeys and gift cards to 10 families at Lely Elementary for their Thanksgiving dinners.
As Mision Peniel is a mission of our presbytery, we have supported several of their campaigns: personal hygiene items, homemade baby blankets and tied fleece blankets, school backpacks and supplies, rice and beans, and Christmas gifts for children.
We support Meals of Hope with volunteers each Monday in the parking lot, delivering food for families in need. We also pack food at the Meals of Hope warehouse every other month, with 12-17 volunteers.
