PRESBYTERIANS ANSWER TO HUNGER: 5 Cents Per Meal
Pastors – Don’t forget to remind your congregation about 5c Per Meal Offering. Every 5c set aside for each meal enjoyed helps someone else enjoy a meal.
In 2022 your 5 cents helped plant millions of trees and start vegetable gardens in Guatemala and Madagscar; enabled Society of St Andrew and Second Harvest to provide nutritious food for hungry people across Florida, and emergency food relief to thousands of people who lost their homes in the hurricanes.
A portion of Your 5 cents stayed right here in our own congregations in the form of small grants to churches providing hunger relief in their own communities. Merritt Island, St. Lukes and Markham Woods received small grants in 2022 – “The grant money has and is being used towards our preschool food pantry. The food pantry will be used to help our preschool teachers and families in need.” (Merritt Island Church). St. Lukes used their small grant to support their ‘Meals for Moms and Dads’ program which supplies monthly groceries to 9 families in their community. “The PATH grant also helped us provide a complete Thanksgiving meal to five families, in addition to the monthly groceries.(St Lukes). The PATH committee awarded small grants to two churches in 2023 for their hunger programs, Merritt Island and First Presbyterian, Eustis.
