Everyone Eats at ETS – Third Wednesday of Every Month
The Everyone Eats Program provides approximately 300 hot meals to Detroit's homeless

this ministry.

and resources to build decent, affordable homes. Founded as a Christian organization,

our table in Boll Hall.

showers, medical services, haircuts, access to a social worker and job postings. Clothing
will be collected on the east side of the church. Suggested items include women's
business clothing, winter clothes and bed linens.
CROP Walk – Oct. 4

route, or sponsoring our walkers.
Thanksgiving Meal at Westminster – November
Westminster Presbyterian Church of Detroit feeds nearly 2,200 each year at
Thanksgiving time. Our church donates help, and 800 pounds of turkeys. This outreach
draws many people who donate turkeys, pies and money.

Salvation Army. Our congregation has provided leadership for the whole Northville area.
