This ministry team acts as a link to local agencies who serve people in need. Calvary supports food pantries such as the Keystone Opportunity Center, Pennridge Fish, and Open Line. We also support agencies dealing with the needs of the homeless such as Keystone Opportunity Center, Bridge of Hope, Philadelphia Access Center, and Lansdale Community Housing. Calvary and Open Hand also support the following pregnancy centers and programs: Pregnancy Resource Clinic of North Penn and Crossroads Pregnancy Care. Open Hand communicates with these agencies to determine their specific needs and oversee periodic Collection Days in direct response to those needs.
