Project 5000
Time to volunteer for Project 5000! This simple outreach project is designed to feed the hungry within our own community. If you would like to participate please sign up on the sheet in the hall for a particular Sunday or you may email Althea Callaway at: acallaway2@mac.com. This is a great way to offer Thanksgiving for a birthday, anniversary or other special day.
Once you have a chosen a date pick up a Project 5000 canvass bag from the box in the reception area and get a list either from the church office or the website. The list is designed to feed a family of four for two days. The trip to the grocery store is a meaningful way to involve children who often do not understand real hunger.
If you have questions please call or email Althea Callaway at acallaway2@mac.com or (704) 442-0860.
