Christ Presbyterian Church puts strong emphasis on giving money, time, and goods to those in special need. Recipients of our monetary gifts span the globe, but we are especially interested in charities that support residents of Somerset and Hunterdon counties and charities in which our church's members are active. Click here to see a list of organizations we support, a brief description of each organization and a link to their web site where available.
In 2009 members joined the Presbyterian Church USA in their Campaign for Fair Food by petitioning the grocery industry, specifically three prominent chains Ahold, Publix, and Kroger (who run Stop 'n Shop, Giant, Kroger, Ralphs, Dillans among others) to forge agreements with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to address proverty wages and human rights abuses in the tomatoe fields of Florida.
