MSB 2020 Highlight - EPC’s First Potato Gleaning
On November 7 and 8, 2020, Eastminster held its first potato gleaning, an intergenerational outreach event to help fight hunger in the Midlands. Led by Croskeys Royall, Dir. of Children’s Ministries, and Rev. Brian Marsh, Associate Pastor for MSB, it was a process that began on Friday evening when volunteers young and old went through a large truckload of potatoes to separate and salvage literally 11 pallets and 600+ bags that would be driven by volunteers to various locations the next morning. Community outreach partners included: Harvest Hope (3 Pallets), Rehoboth UMC (75 bags), Gloryland Ministries (1 Pallet), Progressive Church (2 Pallets), Second Nazareth Baptist (1 Pallet), Oak Grove Baptist (1 Pallet), His Heartbeat Ministries (1 Pallet), Trinity Baptist (40 Bags), God Ministries (1 Pallet), Set Free Ministries (1 Pallet), Center for Learning (25 Bags) and Ambassadors on the Move Outreach (300-500 Bags). Deliveries were made to Transitions, Columbia Women’s Shelter, New Light Beulah, Oliver Gospel Mission, Fairfield Community Food Bank, Palmetto Home and a Housing Development near Lorick Park. Thank you to all who participated in 2020. L to R: Coreen Smith, Nayana & Brian Totman and Phillip Smith (Coreen and Phillip are missionairies who also manage Hope Unlimited in Brazil)
