REACT Collections
The first Sunday of every month (Communion Sunday at Berwyn),
we will be collecting boxes of cereal and/or bottles of juice for Valley
Forge REACT.
Valley Forge REACT is a non-profit organization which receives and
distributes donated food to people in need. Mabel Purcell, President of Valley
Forge REACT, works closely with the Tredyffrin Police Department as well as the Upper
Mainline Ministerium to identify families in need or those needing emergency
assistance. REACT gives food to 60-80 families per month. 75% of these people
are senior citizens and the remaining 25% are families with young children.
Valley Forge REACT is affiliated with
REACT International, a volunteer emergency communications organization of
amateur radio operators.As we gather together at the Lord's Table, please remember Jesus' charge to care for those in need! Baskets will be located at the back of the sanctuary to collect your donation(s). Please give generously. Contact Betsy Newman at 610-644-2683 with any questions. |
