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

Mission for mid-October~December

THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
The Ronald McDonald House® keeps children and families together by providing temporary housing, at no charge, to out-of-town families of seriously ill children who are being treated at Penn State Children’s Hospital.
The Ronald McDonald Family Room® is located within the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and offers a comfortable setting for families of pediatric patients. The living area converts into sleeping space at night for family members with children so ill that leaving the hospital for any reason is not an option, and also serves those who live too close to be able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Our volunteers also support the family lounges at Penn State Children’s Hospital and a Hospitality Cart which offers refreshments, arts & crafts, personal items, and much more. All services are provided at no charge to pediatric patients and their families.

Your donations mean you understand the importance of fighting hunger, creating hope, and making a difference in our community.  The Northeastern Food Pantry has been incredibly blessed this year and we have many to thank.

A heartfelt Thank You goes out to Starview United Church of Christ, all of the neighboring churches, businesses, schools, organizations, families, individual donors, and volunteers for the generosity you have shared with us throughout the year.

Whether you have organized food drives, donated food or money, or volunteered your time, we are so grateful you have chosen to partner with us in the fight against hunger.

We believe it is a privilege to help feed those in need and we could not do it without you.  We continue to pray for a time when no one is hungry.

Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
