Church receives grant from NCCF for Pink Envelope program
Trending
The United Methodist Church of Westfield was able to receive a grant from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation to help with the Blue Bag/Pink Envelope funds. What are the blue bag and Pink Envelope funds?
The Pink Envelope fund was started as a mission project of the church to Feminine Hygiene Products, diapers and formula to women in the community, especially those that come to the food pantry (that is located in the First United Methodist Church of Westfield - 101 E. Main St). The Blue Bag fund was another mission project of the church to help food pantry clients with basics not covered by SNAP. They include: soap, shampoo, tooth brushes, tooth paste, deodorant, laundry soap, cleaning solutions and so much more. Both of these programs rely heavily on donations from the church, individuals and the community.
Many thanks to those that have made these projects possible. If you are interested in helping out with either of the projects, please contact the church at 716-326-3243 or use our website to make a donation: www.westfieldnyumc.org .
