Our local area Mission efforts support through volunteers and/or funding:

Caregivers Volunteers of Central Jersey an interfaith care provider for the frail and elderly;

Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County is a non-profit, interfaith ministry committed to providing shelter, meals and assistance to homeless families;

Northern Ocean Chapter of Habitat for Humanity building affordable homes;

Lions Club International.  For years, our congregation supported New Eyes for the Needy, Inc. by donating used eyeglasses and jewelry. We have learned that they are no longer accepting eyeglasses but prefer monetary donations. Recognizing that we have received many donations of eyeglasses through the years, we remain committed to accepting donations which will be donated to Lions International, a
champion in helping combat vision impairment and blindness since 1925. Volunteers process donated glasses for distribution through medical missions around the world. Please note that sunglasses are NO LONGER being accepted.

We Presbyterians are active in reaching out to aid those who have experienced major disasters nationally and worldwide. Thus, we support and partner with organizations that bring relief to victims of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and the like, revealing God’s great care and compassion.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance sends people, funds and resources to disaster victims.

Church World Service is an Ecumenical Organization that provides God’s care and relief to victims of famine, hunger, and refugees forced from their homes because of wars or natural disasters. In October our members join with other churches in our area CROP Walk, raising hunger awareness and funds that go to assist local and international relief efforts.  Blanket Sunday is an ecumenical offering that provides blankets and tools for victims of disaster and refugees seeking to rebuild their lives and plant crops.
