open hand
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.
Next Collection Days are: Wednesday, March 17 and Sunday, March 21
Items that are currently needed the most are meals-in-a-can, such as hearty soups and stews. Other items needed are: peanut butter and jelly, baked beans, tuna fish, any canned meat, canned fruit, dried or canned potatoes, pudding, cake mix, juice, diapers (sizes 2, 3 & 4) and baby wipes.
Please bring your donations and drop them in the shopping carts placed at the entrances to the building. Thank you for caring!
