3 Cents a Meal

Every third Sunday of each month is 3 Cents a Meal Offering? 3 Cents-a-Meal Offering is part of Presbyterian Hunger Program which began in 1976 by Presbyterian Women to involve individuals and families in a corporate response to world hunger.

Mission & Outreach invites every member—all ages—to contribute a few cents for each meal eaten during the month. This simple act is an expression of thanks for what we have received and a commitment to share with others. Consider placing a jar on your kitchen table and depositing 3 cents each day x 3 meals a day, or reach into your pocket and give as you feel led on Sunday. This small token can help to alleviate hunger for those in need. When you bring your offerings to church on the third Sunday of the month, all of these coins “make a joyful noise unto the Lord” as they are received and
dedicated.

Our donations are distributed equally between five local missions—Beth-El, Brandon Outreach Clinic, Cedarkirk,  Outdoor Little Free Pantry and ECHO. Through these local Hillsborough county organizations, we are helping to sustain families and provide hope for their future.
