The Board of Outreach facilitates our church's commitment to service to the wider community and world. In this column we will share information about organizations that we at FCCWP partner with and give details of how you can become involved! This month, we will highlight Ward Chapel Food Pantry. Through pandemic food drives, through Sunday School and VBS food initiative collections, through our weekly Little Dab collection boxes, and through our specific Basket Brigade, we work alongside Ward Chapel.
Ward Chapel AME is one of the oldest African American churches in Winter Park, located right in Hannibal Square. Ward Chapel's ministry to the local community includes a Food Pantry, which operates as a Second Harvest partner site. FCCWP contributes to the Ward Chapel Food Pantry with donations of money, non-perishable food, hygiene supplies and household goods donated by our members. Add a quick browse through the BOGOs for staples to your routine when you do your weekly shopping, and you can help us feed our hungry neighbors. Or if you prefer to donate money that can be used to purchase fresh food, money can be donated through the church office by designating your donation "Lil Dab" or "food pantry."
Wondering why it's called Lil Dab? Its because "a little dab'll do you!" A little bit donated by each member will help us make a big difference in our community. The next time you enter the narthex or fellowship hall and see the white boxes, we invite you to help us stock their shelves or offer a monetary donation.
