Cumberlands Care

Cumberlands Care from First Cumberland Presbyterian on Vimeo.

Our benevolence ministry is called Cumberlands Care...because we do. On the first and third Wednesday of each month, between 9:00 and 11:00, volunteers offer help and hope to whoever is in need. We share a cup of coffee, enjoy some good conversation, and try to figure out what we can do to lend a hand.

Sometimes, that is as simple as a toothbrush, new socks, dish soap, and some laundry detergent. We help with prescriptions, too.

​When the help our neighbors need is beyond what we can offer, we work to refer them to an agency that is better-equipped to help with that particular need.
