Community presbyterian local & regional mission efforts
Habitat Repair Ministry
The Habitat Repair Ministry is a diverse group of volunteers who gather periodically to work on light construction projects that enhance the living conditions of those in need who cannot afford to take the steps necessary to make their homes safe and efficient. Projects that have been done in the past are Handicap ramps, small appliance installation, painting, siding replacement, and floor repair. If you enjoy working with others and lending a hand to home repair projects, we’d love your assistance.

Coalition for Human Care

CALL (Community Assistance Language Learners)
CALL helps to ensure that children with limited proficiency in English in our community succeed in school through weekly tutoring throughout the school year. In addition to working with children, the CALL program offers assistance to mothers wishing to learn English as a second language. If you love teaching and learning, please consider sharing your skills as a tutor.
Time Commitment: This group meets every Tuesday after school, September through May, in the Everette House from 3-5pm.

Angel Tree
CPC partners with the Northern Moore Family Resource Center in Robbins and the CALL program to provide presents and clothing for the children of families who are struggling and cannot afford the expense of Christmas. Beginning in early November, CPC members choose an Angel from the “Angel Tree” and purchase requested items for that child (shirt, pants, coat, shoes and book). Unwrapped items are returned to the church by requested deadline in early December.
Volunteers are always needed to help with “Angel Tree” gift deliveries and at the NMFRC to assist parents in choosing and wrapping items for their children. CALL tutors wrap and distribute gifts for students in that program.
Time Commitment: Shopping on your own time; 3 hour time blocks the week of the event at Northern Moore Family Resource Center in early December
