Feeding all those folks has depleted our food shelves. We have plenty of green beans, green peas and corn but are out of other canned food, dry goods and meat. Please help us feed our neighbors in need. Organize a food drive today!

Did you know? That we have fed over 800 more families in the first six months of this year than last year. This year, 2,200 families = 4,247 individuals have received food boxes from our food pantry.

Christmas in July?

YES!

We are starting our Christmas Investors Program in July in order to accommodate those who want to participate by getting their volunteer hours completed early. This will also enable us to assist even more families to have a Christmas they normally would not have without our help. You can help too by starting now to collect new, unwrapped books, clothing and nonviolent toys for children birth to 12 years old. We also need monetary donations for gift certificates for teenagers and adults. Teenagers typically use these gift certificates for clothing and school supplies while adults use them for household needs rather than something special for themselves. Remember too that each family receives the fixins for a delicious Christmas dinner also. Please send donations no later that December 1st with Christmas Store in the memo portion.

So from our family to yours,

Merry Christmas in July!

Our second annual golf tournament in memory of Jane Esdale was a great success! Great fun was had by all twenty-one teams and we were able to raise over $6,600 for the Center. Thanks be to God and a great golf tournament committee. Be sure to check out the photos. We were unable to get all the photos we wanted so a pro has stepped up to take care of the "ham" in all of us next year!

SAVE THE DATE!

About Us

Staff

After a valiant fight with multiple health issues Jane Esdale was taken home to our heavenly Father, Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 5:00 pm. A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 2:00 pm at the First Baptist Church, 606 North Walnut Street, Lumberton, NC 28358. Visitation will follow in the fellowship hall. Memorials may be sent to the Robeson County Church and Community Center, Inc., 600 West 5th Street, Lumberton, NC 28358.

     Amazing what one person can do!  Check out the newest photo album "Senior Project" to learn about the project Julia Sanchez took on single-handedly in early October.  It will touch your heart!

     "Whom shall I send?"

     On January 16, 2010, people from Robeson County and other supporters will  once again be asked to respond to this call.  Several hundred church and county leaders have been invited to the third annual Church and Community Center Prayer Breakfast.  This event is set for 8:00 a.m. at First Baptist Church, Lumberton -- corner of Walnut and 6th Streets (kitty corner across from Chestnut Street United Methodist)  Their mission?  Moving our community out of poverty.  Steve Taylor, Director of Missions for the North Carolina Conference, United Methodist Church, will speak.

     The US Census Bureau estimates that 30 percent of Robeson County residents live below the poverty level, making it the poorest county in North Carolina.  Church and community leaders will consider the ways the Church and Community Center is already making a difference and the challenges it faces to keep pace with the increasing need.  A time of prayer for the center and its needs is included.

     Interviews and photo opportunities will be available with people who have been helped by RCCCC programs.  Meet two women who will share their stories.  And meet the people serving on the front lines of poverty.

     Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once famously said that worship was the most segregated hour in America.  But on the weekend celebrating his birth, we can work together as one to combat poverty.

     Whom shall I send?  ... Send me.

Please call 910.738.5204 to respond before Wednesday, January 13.

     Although we have lots more pics to upload, here is a glance of what generous givers have done to make the holidays brighter for the people we serve.

     Detailed food drive information will also come soon!
