Donation to Matthew 25:35 Project

Overbrook Presbyterian Church is stepping back from their efforts related to the Matthew 25:35 Project and Calvin Presbyterian is taking a more active role in preparing meals and feeding their West Philadelphia guests. 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!

Saturday, April 22, 2017

On April 22, a group of nearly 500 people gathered at Bonner & Prendie Catholic High School and packed enough meals to feed TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN children for a year. Children who may have otherwise died. People came from all around the Delaware Valley, young and old — it was truly a team effort lead wholly by our Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank you all so very much for all of your support. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we are already planning next year’s event!

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.
