Backpack Program, Sedgefield Elementary School
The Backpack Program was created to break the cycle of hunger and food insecurity for children in low-income communities by providing them with healthy nutritious food that are easy-to-prepare, to take home on weekends or extended holidays throughout the school year when other resources are not available.

Summer Lunch and Enrichment Program
For the past several years our church has provided food for many children in our community who may not have had adequate food during the summer weeks. Because of the support and many volunteers from our church and community, we are able to continue this very important program.Thanks to the donations from companies and individuals, we are able to provide a variety of healthy lunches at significantly reduced prices. The children enjoy  a variety of enrichment activities each day after lunch, including visits from firefighters, police and K9 units, magicians, musicians, and the Eco-Bus.  The 2017 Program will begin in July 11 and end August 9.

Montagnard immigrants, refugees and residents
Sedgefield Presbyterian Church and the Bonung Alliance Church oversee a grant they have received to assist new Montagnard immigrants.
SPC provides hospitality for the Bunong Alliance Church which shares our facilities each week. This partnership provides an enriching fellowship and worship events for both congregations. In addition, there is a joint committee from both churches that assists in providing scholarships to newly arrived refugees.
