The more donations received from March 1st to April 30th, the bigger the donation from the Feinstein Foundation. These donations can include cash, checks and food items (valued at $1.00 per item or pound) or pledges. CCA’s food pantry is one of the largest in the region, serving more than 600 people a month, 50 percent of them children. It is available to families with children, senior citizens and people with disabilities in the Hill section of New Haven, and over the years the agency has served more than 40,000 people. Starting in 2001, they have offered a "Client Choice" program. Food pantry participants are given the opportunity to "shop" for their food items rather than receiving a pre-made bag. CCA maintains membership with the Connecticut Food Bank but relies on others for donations. First Presbyterian Church has a green wheel barrow parked in the Copeland Room to collect food items for CCA. On the last Sunday of each month, a volunteer packs up the bags and delivers them to the CCA food pantry at Davenport and Asylum Streets. March and April are traditionally periods when donations to food pantries are low, which is why the Feinstein Foundation picked these months for their campaign. Please consider making an extra effort to fill the green wheelbarrow during this time.]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/03/feinstein-anti-hunger-challenge/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/february-prayer-letter-update-steps-toward-treatment/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/february-prayer-letter-update-steps-toward-treatment/#comments Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:53:20 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=464 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/february-prayer-letter-update-steps-toward-treatment/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/bread-for-the-world-offering-of-letters-sunday-march-18th/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/bread-for-the-world-offering-of-letters-sunday-march-18th/#comments Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:16:02 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=461 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/bread-for-the-world-offering-of-letters-sunday-march-18th/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-february-2012-prayer-letter/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-february-2012-prayer-letter/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:43:52 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=456 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-february-2012-prayer-letter/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-january-2012-prayer-letter/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-january-2012-prayer-letter/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:27:29 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=450 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/karla-koll-january-2012-prayer-letter/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/abraham%e2%80%99s-tent-a-reflection-by-elder-micah-luce/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/abraham%e2%80%99s-tent-a-reflection-by-elder-micah-luce/#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:37:20 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=444 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/abraham%e2%80%99s-tent-a-reflection-by-elder-micah-luce/feed/ 0 http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/mission-support-for-nancy-and-shelvis-smith-mather%e2%80%99s-ministry-in-south-sudan/ http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/mission-support-for-nancy-and-shelvis-smith-mather%e2%80%99s-ministry-in-south-sudan/#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:26:02 +0000 fpcnhadmin http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/?p=438 Continue Reading]]> http://fpcnh.org/missionnews/2012/02/mission-support-for-nancy-and-shelvis-smith-mather%e2%80%99s-ministry-in-south-sudan/feed/ 0
