Clemson Community Care
Consider making a commitment to purchase one or two items on a regular basis to donate to Clemson Community Care. Each time you shop for yourself or your family, add your selected item to your cart, and bring it to church to place in the collection barrel in the hallway near the church office.

Making this a habit, just like praying before meals and coming to church, is a way to live out our faith by loving our neighbors, just as Jesus told us... 

“Go and do likewise.”
(Luke 25:37)
