Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
Isaiah 58:10
Each year the Assistance Center of Towson Churches (ACTC) reaches out to the community by providing holiday meals to families in need. Last year, ACTC gave away more than 3,000 Thanksgiving meals in Baltimore County and City.
NewThing and Concordia Preparatory School are joining together to help provide these baskets
to help people right here in our community!
Our goal is to provide 140 meals that will each feed a family of five.
You can be a part of showing Christ's love in a tangible way in 1 of 3 ways!
