You can now donate to the Lancaster County Council of Churches Food Hub online. Council is challenging the Church of the Apostles congregation to raise at least $10,000 to be donated to the LCCC new Food Hub in honor of our 40th Anniversary. This fits in perfectly with our “Feeding the Hungry” mission, and we are confident that we can exceed this goal. To learn more about the Food Hub please click here. Please specify the “Food Hub” on the donation page when sending your gift.
