Fill the Fridge
"He who is generous will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor." — Proverbs 22:9 At Sargent Memorial Presbyterian Church, we believe that caring for the least among us is not just an act of kindness — it is an act of faith. Evangelism's Fill the Fridge initiative is a call to the body of Christ to come together and ensure that no child in our community goes without food. We are collecting non-perishable food items, including canned goods, peanut butter, pasta and rice, fruit cups, snacks, juice boxes, and more. Monetary donations are also welcome and will go directly toward purchasing fresh food and essentials for children in need. As we are moved by the love of Christ, let us move in love toward others. Every can, every dollar, every act of giving is a reflection of His heart for the vulnerable and the hungry. To donate or for more information, please see any member of the Evangelism Ministry or email smpcevangelism@gmail.com
