Mission and Outreach at FPC

While our Caring Ministry does not provide financial assistance, it includes a food pantry, a senior food box program, utility relief opportunities, a job assistance program, a bus pass program, prescription medication assistance, and general resource referrals. Click here to learn more.

Each year, FPC serves over 500 Thanksgiving meals to members of our local community! We are grateful to our volunteers who help prepare the meal, serve, and donate winter items as well as monetary donations.

Every spring, FPC hosts a community talent show in partnership with the Shine Foundation here in York. Performers of all ages from the York community join us for an evening of music! Volunteers are needed to help set up, welcome guests, and hand out snacks.

Children ages 5 - 12 are welcome to join us for creative arts-based community events throughout the year. Come ready to dance, play drums, blow bubbles, do crafts, and more!

Chrystal’s Place is a food and clothing pantry located on Chestnut Street. They are open Mondays 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM and Wednesdays 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM. No appointments are needed.

The Northeast Neighborhood Association has a community garden next to Chrystal’s Place. Neighbors in the community sign up to grow their own food and plants in the garden boxes, and volunteers can help by weeding and watering.

Food and baby products (diapers and baby clothes) can be donated to our very own Caring Ministry during normal business hours (M-Th, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM).

House items like decor and kitchenware can be donated to Chrystal’s Place on Chestnut Street during normal business hours (M, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM and W, 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM).

Clothing can be donated to Trinity Church. If you have clothing donations, please contact Amy Brownell, our Neighborhood Outreach Coordinator to arrange a drop-off.
