Overview of Program: |
|
|
The Local Mission Committee seeks to share the Good News of Christ’s saving grace by providing food for the hungry; housing for the homeless; medical care for the ill; counsel for the troubled through direct assistance or through Christian agencies that support those in need and those less fortunate within this community and the greater Detroit Presbytery. The FPCP Thrift Shop collects and sells gently-used clothing and household goods at very low prices and donates its proceeds to a variety of Christian missions. |
