We have too much food!
Maybe you have seen the sign in our lobby or in a recent ebulletin about our CPC Food Bank being at capacity.
This means you are generously donating food! Thank you for your ongoing heart to give, to help, and to meet needs.
In a way, it's a good problem to have too much food.

Our CPC Food Bank exists to extend the love of Jesus by helping meet practical needs of people in our church and community.

Thank you for taking joy in generosity. Let's feed more people!
Who can you think of that might need help?
