"Because of Jesus Christ we share God's love.  Because of Jesus Christ we join hands in service."  Galatians 6:2 instructs:  "Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

PRCC supports a variety of charitable causes:

Lobster Festival

The lobster festival is our biggest fundraiser for charity each year. 

In 2011, we raised $14,320 and split the proceeds between The Pound Ridge Lion's Volunteer Ambulance Corps. and the Pound Ridge Fire Department with each receiving $7,160

In 2010 we raised $12,200 for the Food Bank for Westchester.  Since the foodbank is able to buy food in bulk, the dollars went further in helping the other hunger assistance organizations who receive food from them.

Souper Bowl of Caring Feb. 4, 2012

Our youth collected $985 and 657 pounds of food for the Community Center's food pantry.  Souper Bowl of Caring is a nationwide youth movement coinciding with the Super Bowl to end worldwide hunger at the local level.  100% of collections are distributed to the local charity of choice.

Haiti Health Kits

We are able, through UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, to help earthquake ravaged Haiti and other areas affected by disaster.  We provided about 100 health kits to UMCOR.

Heifer Project 

We raised more than $5,200 in 2010 for Heifer Project International, a not for profit organization dedicated to helping families become self-reliant through the gift of farm animals.   For more info. about Heifer, go to www.heifer.org.
