Souper Bowl 2007



We raised $279 for Souper Bowl Sunday! Check our profile here. Congratulations! Now you get to decide where we will send the money. Here are some options:

  • Food for the Multitude: First Pres. participates with other congregations in Elizabethton to prepare meals once per week for people who need them. We take a turn about once every 5-6 weeks at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. We served nearly 300 meals last time. The money will help buy food!
  • Three Cents a Meal: The money would go to Holston Presbytery to be distributed to hunger ministries throughout Northeast Tennessee.
  • Area Resource Ministry (A.R.M): This is a cooperative ministry of churches in Elizabethton to provide food, clothing, pay heating bills and so forth for folks in need in Carter County.
  • First Pres., Food Vouchers: Every now and then people come to the church requesting a food voucher. We give them a voucher for $25 at White's in Elizabethton.
Do you know of other local hunger ministries? If so, comment to this post and we will add yours to the list, then take a vote at the end of the week.
