Northside Common Ministry Food Drive

May 7 to 21^st

 The mission committee has run a Food drive for Northside Common Ministries 2 times a year for almost 10 years. The need for food and other pantry items has only gotten greater over the years. The mission team will be running a special drive now till the 21^st of May.

  The NCM pantry has asked that we collect Chicken noodle soup, Brownie mix and Baking soda.  Any food item is fine but the pantry likes to give certain items to every family each month and are in need of the 3 requested. They serve at least 200 families a month.

Food items can be placed in the library across from the office.

    Cash is also a good donation so that they may purchase any needed item at a reduced cost from the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. This can be done by making out a check to Northmont UP Church with NCM food drive written in the memo line or you could use the pew envelope for cash be sure to indicate that it is for NCM food drive and placing that in the offering plate on any Sunday in May.

 Thank you for helping those in need.

Longvue Acres Garden Club Perennial Plant Sale

Saturday, May 20, 2023

Mark your calendars! The Longvue Acres Garden Club will host its 73 rd spring perennial plant sale, Saturday, May 20 th from 9:00 a.m. to Noon – Rain or Shine – in the lower parking lot of Northmont United Presbyterian Church, 8169 Perry Highway, McCandless. The CASH ONLY sale will feature more than 600 perennial plants including highly valued Pennsylvania natives and pollinators. Since the plants are grown in members’ gardens and donated for the sale, it’s always a surprise to see the variety of plants available from year to year. Avid gardeners will arrive early to snag the most sought-after plants that sell in the first hour. Club members, some of whom are Penn State Master Gardeners, will be available to answer gardening questions and to help with plant selections.

Plant sale proceeds generously fund monthly educational programs for the public and support the maintenance of the UPMC Passavant chapel garden. Additionally, funds raised in the plant sale support not only the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Botanic Gardens of Western Pennsylvania, and North Area Environmental Council, but also local community gardens in McCandless and Ross Township. Longvue Acres Garden Club meets at 7:00 p.m. the fourth Tuesday of the month at Northmont U.P. Church.

 For more information about the plant sale or Longvue Acres Garden club, please contact longvueacresgardenclub1950@gmail.com.
