Meals on Wheels
Daily warm meals have now resumed! These meals are provided to over 1,400 elderly homebound Wake County neighbors. Our program is in desperate need of volunteers Monday through Friday between 10:30am – Noon. For addtional information please visit www.wakemow.org
Faith Ministry/Mexico
Our partners south of the border are currently not building houses due to travel restrictions and social distancing. Since they are not able to host teams at this time, their resources are being turned toward providing to-go meals to the colonia, sewing face masks for the community and supporting those showing signs of the virus in their medical clinic. Please visit faithministry.org to learn how to help.
Refugee Hope Partners
The number of refugee families calling the Triangle home is steadily growing and our community has become a door to the nations of the world. Since 2007 RHP has served our new neighbors at Cedar Point Apartments with the love of Christ. They are a vibrant community of refugee families who fled their homes for a better life, and it is just about a mile down the road from Saint Andrews. If you have questions or would like to know more, visit https://www.refugeehopepartners.org/, email Beth Mielcarek or call at (860) 543-5337.
Loaves and Fish
Our partners at Loaves and Fishes ask for prayers for their kids and families. It is difficult for families, volunteers and staff to be separated from each other when they are extended family! Like most vulnerable populations, food insecurity is a real and dire threat to these families. To learn how to help spread the love, please visit lafchildren.org.
Inter-faith Food Shuttle
The Food Shuttle recovers and distributes over 9 million pounds of food per year. It teaches skills for self-sufficiency including culinary job skills, shopping and cooking healthy on a budget, and how to grow food. To learn more, go to www.foodshuttle.org.

Haiti Reforestation Partnership
The growing, nurturing and planting in the CODEP project continues despite the pandemic. However due to closed markets and borders, Haiti is experiencing a severe fresh food shortage. Please keep our partners down in Haiti in your prayers as the number of COVID cases continue to rise and a chronic lack of healthcare impacts everyone in the country.

Rise Against Hunger
RAH and SAPC continue to hold packing events that comply with current CDC guidelines. However, packing events are tailored to the comfort level of SAPC. RAH is still working to gain back a supply of meals and engage people in a fun, educational way to help end hunger by 2030. They continue to strive to reach those they serve with nutritious meals, medical aid and clean water/hygiene kits. To learn how to help meet the critical needs of those facing hunger, visit riseagainsthunger.org.
A Place at the Table
A Place at the Table is a pay-what-you-can cafe in downtown Raleigh. Diners can pay the suggested price, pay less, pay more to help a neighbor, or volunteer to pay for their meal. The cafe serves breakfast and lunch and has delicious pastries and a full coffee bar. Volunteers of all kinds make the cafe run! To get involved or learn more please visit tableraleigh.org.
