OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
FISH (For Immediate Sympathetic Help)
Clothing Closet and Food Pantry
The Fairfax FISH clothing closet, which is housed at FPC, provides clothing to many adults and children. Volunteers from other churches involved in FISH will work in the clothing closet. Hours are 9:30 AM to 12:00 noon every Tuesday and Thursday and the first Saturday of each month. Please consider donating gently used and clean clothing items to the Clothing Closet during these same hours. Your donation is tax deductible, and upon request you will be provided with a receipt.
The food pantry at FPC is stocked annually via a food drive and through ad hoc weekly donations from members, and it is supported financially via the Mission Outreach Ministry budget and designated donations. This food pantry is one of five in operation for FISH; this pantry also provides walk-in support, approved by the pastors. Donations of non-perishable items are always welcomed.
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Megan’s Bear Ministry
Sponsored by The Member Connections Ministry of FPC, this ministry offers a way for love and support to be given to those in need through the gift of a very special bear. Our bears, sitting on the church pews, have heard our scriptures, prayers, songs, and sermons. Anyone who knows someone in need of comfort or cheer is encouraged to take a bear to that person. As always, anyone wishing to donate a new bear to Megan's Bears is encouraged to leave a bear in the donation box located in the Narthex Extension. This ministry, named in memory of its founder Megan Lyons, has touched the lives of many here in Virginia and across the United States.
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
The women of FPC have been packing these hygiene kits every month since 2005 for our military overseas and those sent through Operation First Response to combat hospitals or remote bases. Unused travel items are always needed and may be left in the OFR red basket in the Narthex Extension.
