  There are plenty of opportunities to join us in serving those in our community.  Below are some of the ways we serve:
  • Each year, for one week in January, we open our church doors to the homeless in Hampton.  We provide them a nutritious dinner, a place to sleep, and a hot breakfast. We typically serve between 80 and 100 people each night.  Our next week will be in early January 2012.  You may sign-up on-line or in the Commons. 
  • On the second Saturday of each month, we prepare bag lunches for the homeless in Hampton.
  • After church on April 17, 2011, we prepared 10,000 meals as part of the Stop Hunger Now program.  
  • We support the Habitat for Humanity program on the Peninsula with financial support and with our time and talents.  In January 2010, we finished building a home near the War Memorial baseball stadium in Hampton.  We will are building another home, which we hope to complete in October 2012.
  • Financially, we support the larger Presbyterian church with our unified mission giving. These funds support the Presbyterian missionaries, camps, seminaries, and other programs.  We also provide support for several local organizations, such as the Downtown Hampton Child Development Center, the Hampton Ecumenical Lodgings and Provisions (HELP), and the Peninsula Pastoral Counseling Center.
  • We open our doors to local community programs such as child wellness checks, Relay for Life, Boy Scout Troop 29, and provide space for Alcoholics Anonymous to meet.
  • On April 26, 2009 we had our first Faith@Work day.  We came to church dressed for work as we departed to our work sites immediately after church.  Our next Faith@Work day will be on October 23, 2012.   
  • We periodically support families who can no longer take care of their homes by doing yard work or minor home repair.  Most of our referrals come from the Hampton City Codes office, the Peninsula Agency on Aging, Habitat for Humanity's A Brush with Kindness program, or similar agencies.
