Donation to Matthew 25:35 Project

To support Calvin in their efforts, OPC made a $1,000 donation to help with the transition. We wish Calvin all the best! Thank you to Elizabeth Cosgriff and Larry McGhee for their hard work for the Matthew 25:35 Project!

In addition to all those activities, volunteers helped to create a t-shirt memorial to victims of gun violence in Philadelphia. Many hands made positive contributions to the lives of others.
