Second Mile Giving
September & October: Family Promise
Due to the coronavirus, Helping Hands is not currently operational. However, Williamsport still has people in need, perhaps even more so as the effects of this pandemic are drawn out. Our second mile giving will bless many people in need through the local ministry of Family Promise. Many families who have been hit particularly hard in this season have been helped and protected from homelessness through the work of Family Promise, which is why First Church is dedicating our second mile giving to their support of our community. Thank you for how you’re caring for others in our community in this time.
