Lyme Food Pantry
We are honored to house the Lyme Food Pantry, funded and operated by Community Care of Lyme. We are grateful that we can provide a convenient location for this vital program that feeds those in need.
Community Baptist Church (NJ)
We are blessed by the opportunity to promote racial justice and experience the diversity in the church through our partnership with a primarily African-American church. Our churches have spent weekends visiting one another and our members have made lasting personal connections. For more details, see the racial justice page and the CBC website.
Bargain Barn
We are blessed to have an amazing volunteer group of volunteers who coordinate a resale shop in a small building adjacent to the church called Lyme House. Proceeds from the Bargain Barn go to various local scholarships and other church and community programs.
Vegicare
Vegicare is a seasonal summer program where local gardeners donate veggies to a central location at the church horse sheds. Volunteers then distribute the veggies to older adults who otherwise might not have access to fresh foods.
Soupercare
This is a grassroots effort that started years ago to provide soup for neighbors who need a meal. For example, recipients are sometimes people who are sick, recovering from surgery, or who have experienced the death of a loved one. Every week community members make and deliver soup to those who need a meal for a boost to their spirits!
