Philadelphia Presbyterian Church, as part of the Charlotte Presbytery,  is proud to participate in the 5 Cents A Meal Hunger Program. The program provides an opportunity for individuals and families to participate in a corporate response to world hunger. By contributing 5 cents at each meal, we are reminded of the needs of others and our call as Christians to respond to their hunger.

Philadelphia Church collects the 5 Cents A Meal offering on the second Sunday of each month.  Thank you for your participation in this important mission.

5 Cents A Meal News - YOU CAN HELP!

In 2007, with 25 years of growth, The 5 Cents A Meal raised $262,005 in the Charlotte presbytery, allowing for 52 local agencies to provide hunger relief throughout the presbytery.  In a month with 31 days, 5 cents per meal for 3 meals per day comes to a small total of $4.65 a month for one person.  Agencies are receiving an average of 50-70% increases in requests for help. In turn, 5 Cents A Meal  is continuing to meet most of that need, but the need continues to grow.  We continue to collect this special offering on the second Sunday of each month.
