Mission and Outreach Ministries

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 'Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me.'" - Matthew 25:31-40

Committed to caring for Christ, we joyfully commit ourselves to caring for the "least of these" - locally and globally. By supporting the following missions and ministries of outreach with our time, talent, and money, we hope to meet Christ and believe that we can offer the hope we have found in Christ to those being served. Please note, that the following is by no means a complete or static list, as it continues to grow and change depending on ministry needs.

  CURRENT MISSIONS

AMERICAN RED CROSS

MISSION STATEMENT: The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing
the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

We will begin our second mission of 2020. This mission will support our local branch of the American red Cross and will last from April through June. Among many other valuable services, the Red Cross provides care kits to adults and children affected by disasters. These kits include, but are not limited to, sample/small size shampoos, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, combs, razors, shaving cream, and slipper socks. Puzzle/activity books, including crayons and other writing tools, are also welcome for both children and adults. Monetary donations will be graciously accepted.

All donations will be collected at Starview UCC and donated directly to our local branch of the American Red Cross.

Thank you for continuing to make a positive impact on our community.

June 2020 e-Newsletter

Thank you for helping us provide supplemental groceries and personal care items to 147 people during the month of May 2020. There were 62 families which included 28 children, 60 adults, and 59 seniors.

The Northeastern Food Pantry remains open during this unprecedented crisis. We continue to operate with a reduced schedule and reduced volunteer staffing to minimize person to person contact. We are following Federal and State guidelines to protect our clients and volunteers.

Due to COVID-19 protocol requirements, we are still not able to accept donations of food or personal care items at this time.

COVID-19 has created record breaking unemployment, economic disruptions, and even more food insecurity. If you are facing food insecurity for the first time, please do not be afraid to ask for help. You can reach us by calling 717-266-6785 for an appointment.

Thank you for making sure everyone in our community has enough to eat.

Be Safe,
Kim Weigle
