Community Outreach
The Baptist Church in the Great
Valley is proud to be involved with an exciting ministry known as REACT.
REACT is a non-profit organization which receives and distributes donated
food to people in need. Mabel Purcell, President of REACT, works closely
with the Tredyffrin Police Department as well as the Upper Mainline
Ministerium to identify families in need or those needing emergency
assistance. REACT gives food to 60-80 families per month. 75% of these
people are senior citizens and the remaining 25% are families with young
children.
The Church participates in
the REACT program not only at Holiday times, but throughout the entire
year. The Baptist Church in the Great Valley provides space for the
REACT Food Closet, which is organized and maintained entirely by REACT.
In addition, the Church collects food for REACT from members of the
congregation on the first Sunday of every month.
The Baptist Church in the Great Valley is pleased and proud to be a part of the REACT program. We are indeed fortunate to have Mabel Purcell in our community leading this exciting and much needed ministry.
