Faith Presbyterian is a church that intentionally reaches out to
“the least of these”. Here are some of things that we
are involved in:
Immokalee: Only one hour away from
our congregation is a migrant worker community of 50,000 people.
Our congregation is involved in Immokalee in the following ways:
- Back to School Program: We give 60 backpacks filled
with a years worth of school supplies to middle school students
in Immokalee.
- Diaper Drive: We have a diaper drive once a year that
provides a year’s worth of diapers that are distributed
by the Guadeloupe Social Services. On March 12, 2006, member and
friends of Faith once again demonstrated their love for others
by donating 13,386 diapers, with a conservatively-estimated value
of $3,500.
- Rice and Beans Drive: Once a year we have a rice and
beans drive for the food pantry at Guadeloupe Social Services.
- Information Trips: We take information trips periodically
to help educate the congregation about issues related to Immokalee.
Sister-Church Program: We have a local
and global sister church program. Our local sister church is Palmetto
Church in downtown Fort Myers. Our global sister church is Iglesia
Presbiteriana in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Both of these sister
church relationships are cultural exchange programs that challenge
us to understand how we are connected together as in Body of Christ.
We Care Food Ministry: We Care is
located at our congregation and is a food ministry that reaches
out to as many as 35 families in the Cape Coral area. We supply
basic grocery items that are distributed every other week. Some
of the groceries are picked up and some are delivered by members
of our church.

Feed the hungry and help those in trouble.
