Au Sable Grove Mission

Emergency Response Fund: Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

Our vision is a world where everyone has food, voice and a safe place to call home. To do that, we come alongside families and communities, helping them to make that vision a reality.  Moms are now skilled chefs, preparing healthy meals for their little ones. Families in arid regions have access to water, even during long dry spells. More children are attending school each day, ready to learn and dreaming big. Refugee families are settling into new homes and jobs, far from the conflict that forced them to flee.  You are part of this vision.  Together, we’re going to keep pushing and keep fighting until people everywhere have the tools, education and opportunity they need.

  Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, and we ship these meals to nearly 70 countries around the world.  AuSable Grove Presbyterian Church volunteers join together annually to pack meals at FMAC.  This is a great service opportunity and it is a lot of FUN!  Minimum age for volunteering is 5 years old and there are sit-down jobs also available for volunteers.  

Thanks to our caring and committed volunteer team, we’ll be able to continue helping those in need. We’ll preassemble a shopping cart for each neighbor — a selection of items from each food area in the pantry.

 Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity is trying to purchase a piece of property located in Yorkville to build 116 affordable homes for the veteran community, called Operation Home America.  We need the help of our community to be able to purchase the property which cost 1.2 million.  Please watch the video below to find out more information about the project which will be the first of its kind to be built in America by Habitat for Humanity.  If you would like to make a donation, please text HOMES to 243-725 or call Jeffrey Barrett if you wish to do something on a bigger scale. 

The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People - all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance enables congregations and mission partners of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) to witness the healing love of Christ through caring for communities adversely affected by crisis and catastrophic events. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is the emergency and refugee program of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. The core budget, including staff and administrative costs, is funded through the One Great Hour of Sharing, and its program work is additionally funded through designated gifts.
