No child should go hungry, however, may kids who rely on school breakfast and lunch lose access to those meals during the summer. This year, rising grocery prices are placing an even greater strain on our neighbors in need. Inflation affects everyone, but it does not affect everyone equally. More families are quietly struggling, even a small increase in prices means less food on the table, skipped meals, and a growing reliance on community support. 

 Churches are not just helping, they are essential safety nets. Help the Mission and Social Justice Committee collect boxes of cereal for the CEREAL FOR SUMMER DRIVE sponsored by the Hunger Action Committee at the Detroit Presbytery to feed hungry children in our Presbytery over the summer. Half the cereal will be distributed through the Presbytery’s partner food pantries, and the other half of the boxes will go to our own Little Free Food Pantry.

  We will be collecting cereal for the entire month of July. Please bring your donations down to Fellowship Hall to the boxes marked “Cereal Drive”. DEADLINE is Sunday, July 26, 2026.

You are invited to explore the CAN Carousel (live link here), an easy way to engage in climate justice in minutes a day! The CAN carousel is not about grand gestures. It’s about taking 5-10 minutes when you can to learn something new, raise your voice, and act for the good of God’s creation. It’s about building a habit of care. It’s about choosing not to look away. And, every article you read and every message you send earns points that turn into FREE trees planted by the EarthLungs Reforestation Foundation in Africa.
