There are spots available for upcoming dates to bring food to Clifton; for more information or to sign up click here. This ministry is a very easy thing to do while maintaining social distancing, since meals are dropped off on Clifton’s front porch, after calling ahead to let them know when you are coming. Our congregation feeds the men at Clifton Sanctuary Ministries on the fourth Sunday of every month.

For the past 34 years, Equal Exchange, partner of the Presbyterian Coffee Project, has built alternative trade supply chains to help small-scale farmers around the world. Through long-term trade partnerships with farmers this alternative trade has been proven worthy…working for farmers, consumers and the planet we share. And yet this effort is threatened. Climate change is wreaking havoc on farmer partners. Corporate consolidation of the food system is reducing the power of farmers and consumers alike and the world-wide pandemic has disrupted supply chains. To withstand these mounting pressures requires redoubling efforts to act in solidarity. Together, we can protect what has already been built and share it with others far and wide. You are a critical part of this network! Please continue your efforts to build a better food system that serves producers and consumers and enables the earth to be healthy for the future. Purchase your coffee, tea and chocolate through the Presbyterian Coffee Project. Use this form to discover what is available. Place orders by contacting Mary Evans, before February 15.
