Feeding the hungry through the Community Table and Stanly Community Christian Ministries, regular food collections by the congregation and Backpack Program for local children.

Community Table: a local soup kitchen that relies on volunteers to provide a lunchtime meal for those who are in need. Our congregation prepares and serves meals at the Community Table several times a year. Many volunteers are needed to plan and prepare the meal, serve the meal and cleanup afterwards. This is a rewarding opportunity to feed those in need.

Little Red Wagon: Our congregation has the opportunity each month to help support SCCM Food Pantry. On the 3rd Sunday of each month, the church children pull a little red wagon down the aisle to collect the items form the congregation that SCCM has requested for that month. Monetary donations are also accepted at the time. The children enjoy this opportunity to participate in helping;ping needy families in the community.

Backpack Program: A community project that supports community children who live in poverty. These needy children have meals provided at school during the week, but on weekends, food may not be readily available. We provide food packed into backpacks to be distributed to these children on Fridays to help with their hunger relief.

Providing hope at Christmas through the Angel Tree and on Thanksgiving with food baskets.

Hosting birthday parties for residents of the Trinity Place.

Angel Tree: Our W.A.G.S. youth put up an angel Tree at the church in early December. We sponsor at least one family in need each year. Hand crocheted angels are hung on the tree, with Christmas gift wishes from family members, written on slips of paper, each attached to an angel. Members are asked to take a slip of paper from the tree, leaving the angels as decoration. These angels are precious to us as they were lovingly crocheted by a late member of our church, many years ago. After purchasing the gift, members bring the wrapped gift to church and place them under the tree by the designated date. The gifts are then delivered by members of the W.A.G.S. youth just before Christmas.

Trinity Place Birthday Party: Once a year, our church hosts a birthday party for the residents at Trinity Place who have birthdays during the month that our church is hosting. Cupcakes and refreshments are enjoyed by all and a useful gift is given to those who are celebrating birthdays. Afterwards our church organist plays favorite hymns on the piano for all to enjoy and singalong. A great time is guaranteed to the residents and those helping as well.
