Easter Egg Hunt for ages 0-12 held here at FCCI (outdoors if weather permits) after Palm Sunday Service (visitors welcome!)

With the support of the Ithaca Sanctuary Alliance (ISA), the First Congregational Church of Ithaca (FCCI) in July 2020 welcomed a teen mother and her young daughter into the apartment they built to provide sanctuary for immigrants at risk of deportation. Drucila Francisco Mateo and Jessie lived at the church for more than two years, moving out in September, 2022.

Help the FCCI Code Blue Team feed the underhoused on these freezing days: If you can’t volunteer your time, you can donate gift cards from local grocery stores (or cash if you don’t go to grocery stores). The Team can shop at Wegmans, Tops, BJ’s, Aldi’s, and Greenstar! Each weekly meal costs about $140 to prepare. Sponsor a meal! We also need crockpots. To sign up to help cook or to drive the food to the shelter, click this LINK. For more information, please contact the church office.

In a collaborative effort, the Outreach Action Group is collecting donations of items to make UCC Hygiene Kits. A poster to sign up for needed items is in the Narthex. All donated items are due by April 23rd.
