Local Mission Opportunities

Downtown Daily Bread Sundays 12:30—2:00 p.m.
Over 100 people come to the basement of the Boyd Center across South Street from the church for a daily hot lunch. On Sundays, Pine Street adults, families with young children, and youth serve the prepared meal and help clean up afterwards. ALL AGES.

The Food Barrel First Sunday of the Month
Place non-perishable food stuff in the Food Barrel in the Gathering Place. It will be taken to the Food Pantry at Messiah Lutheran Church for distribution to needy families in the Harrisburg area.
ALL AGES.

Adopt-A-Highway Four times a year a Pine Street Crew will cleanup a two mile stretch of Linglestown Road as our part of helping to keep God's world clean. Volunteers meet at the Giant market in the Linglestown Plaza parking lot at 9AM. Pick up from 9 till about noon. AGES 12 and up.

Gleaning at Strite's Orchard Gleaning is a yearly project of the Mission Committee which takes place in October at Strite’s Orchard. At the end of harvest each year there are leftover crops in the fields. Rather than letting them go to waste volunteers from Pine Street gather to pick the crops from the ground, box them and have them delivered to the Central Pa. Food Bank. This is an intergenerational event. Volunteers sign-up at the CHAMPS Table in the Gathering Space. Watch for the notices for sign-up.

The Giving Tree Advent. Sign up to purchase a gift for someone in need. Select the person or organization from the lists provided and bring your wrapped gift to church on the designated day. ALL AGES.

PINE STREET GARDEN BASKET Pine Street will continue its produce sharing through October and will also add a new basket with contents to brighten your gardens-flower bulbs.
As you dig extra flower bulbs from your gardens do the following:
      Put bulbs in a brown paper bags
      Label them as to type of bulb
      Label them as to color and size of plant
Place the bagged bulbs in the appropriately labeled basket for sharing. The bulb basket is located at the same table in the Gathering Space as the produce basket.
