Volunteers are needed to deliver Meals on Wheels in the Kingston neighborhood, where a significant part of our local community outreach is focused. Volunteers work in pairs delivering meals on the same day every other week. Meals are picked up at United Way on Clairmont Ave. Clear directions to each recipient's home is provided, and the total time from picking up the meals to completion of the delivery route (10-12 stops) is about one-and-a-half hours. Interested volunteers should sign up directly with Meals on Wheels.

Join us in shaping joyful experiences and meaningful growth for young hearts at IPC this winter! Worship Care is an essential part of IPC's Children Ministries of Sunday mornings and helpers are needed on Sunday Mornings @ 11am.
