Hair Love Project
In 2024, our congregation donated more than $2000 for the Hair Love project. Hair Love provides hair kits full of essential afro-centric hair care products to distribute to the African American community in partnership with Delaware African American Heritage Council. Each contained items such as bonnets, combs, hair gel, brushes, shampoo and conditioner for adults and children. All kits were distributed at Unity Community Center’s Juneteenth Celebration at Blue Limestone Park where FPC sponsored a booth to support their cause.
Disaster Relief Funds
We often collect money to donate when a natural disaster strikes in areas around the world, such as a hurricanes or earthquakes. In 2024, we raised funds for PCUSA’s “Gift of the Heart” program providing assistance to areas affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton. We raised $1450 that went towards PCUSA’s ‘Clean Up Buckets’ that provided 5 gallon buckets filled with vital cleaning supplies to those affected by the hurricanes.
Mission Giving
We collect money and give to various causes and organizations including PIN Holiday Clearing House for Children, One Great Hour of Sharing, Peace & Global Witness Offering, and Christmas Joy Offering to name a few. We also give and support community partners and organizations: Andrews House, Scout Troops 318 & 7318, Cub Scout Pack 318, Intertwine Youth Ministry, Turning Point, Family Promise, Habitat for Humanity, People In Need, HelpLine, and the Common Ground Free Store.
