Emmanuel Food Drive for MLK Center

During this liturgical season we want to make a special effort to give to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center of Newport. They are providing food to thousands of people a week. About 85% of what they provide is from cash donations. You can give to the Center through PayPal at this link or by check.

As the economic effects of the continuing pandemic continue, the MLK Community Center Food Pantry is an even more important resource to our neighbors here in Newport. Emmanuel Church is continuing to provide fresh produce grown on our hydroponic unit, as well as our ongoing collection of supplies for the Food Pantry. Please remember our food basket in the church office when
