First Presbyterian

A community cornerstone in Christ since 1850.

"For I was hungry and you gave me food,

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,

I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

I was naked and you gave me clothing,

I was sick and you took care of me,

I was in prison and you visited me."

Matthew 25:35-36 NRSV

​​The Family Life Center also serves as a donation collection site for FPC ministries,

including items needed for local food banks, school supplies, international discipleship missions,

and aging outreach ministries.

Through Robbins Food Bank, Robbins Area Christian Minsitries distributes other much-needed items for

local neighbors.

Toilet paper and plastic grocery bags are always needed for every family, and many are in need of household crock pots, blenders and nutribullets.  Any of these gently used small appliances are gladly accepted, along with a few basic cleaning supplies - Swiffer Wet Jet liquid refills and floor mop pads.
