Committee for the Homeless 

This committee works to support homeless individuals and families in the community. They cook, buy, and serve food at homeless shelters throughout the year. They also provide homeless people with care packages that may include water, snacks, cleaning products, articles of clothing (i.e., gloves, hats, sweaters), toiletries, and blankets. Historically, they have led Providence in the adoption of several families through the Agape House's Angel Tree Program at Christmas so that church members could families in need with food and gifts. Lastly, most people know that the Homeless Committee is famous for its spring candy sale where they sell the best peanut clusters on the East Coast. What they may not know is that the proceeds from that candy sale go to supporting homeless individuals, families, and shelters. For example, we have helped community members secure furniture and household items with funds raised.
