CROP Hunger Walks are community-based walk fundraising events held in cities and towns across the United States, created to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. After a CROP Hunger Walk ends, 25% of the funds raised is returned to the host community to support local hunger fighting efforts.

Gleaners Community Food Bank exists to provide households with access to sufficient, nutritious food and related resources. They accomplish this through collaboration, efficient operations, education, and innovative solutions to achieve a hunger-free community in Southeast Michigan.

Knitting and Crocheting Group

Each year, Livingston ESA asks the community to donate backpacks and basic school supplies as part of the annual Backpacks for Kids Campaign created to help families in Livingston County who are experiencing financial difficulties. We collect donations and then pack them in the summer together with our Children’s Ministry.

The purpose of this mission is to allow people to park at FPCB during Brighton streets fairs and festivals, while collecting a free-will offering for our mission teams. It's very easy! Assist people with parking as needed and they can make a donation if they'd like (but it's not required)! Questions can be directed to Amy Kato 248-408-4666.

Warm a heart, help a home! OLHSA (Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those in need become self-sufficient. 100% of the money donated stays in Livingston County going directly to support emergency services provided by OLHSA that keep our neighbors safe and warm. The Walk for Warmth is held year. Anyone who wishes to participate in this family-friendly fun morning walk can join our FPCB Team and walk with us!

Adopt-a-Family is a program that anonymously pairs a family in need with donors in the community. Families, organizations, companies and individuals are among donors each year. Donors assist the families by shopping for and providing Christmas gifts, toys, clothing and food gift cards: all of the essentials to bring HOPE to the families in need during this amazing season. Each holiday season FPCB adopts a number of families in Livingston County and collects donations for them.
