Social Justice/Community
At MCCPB we are a church of many ministers. And a big part of that ministry is service to others. We serve the most vulnerable in our community through our weekly food pantry, HIV Long Term Survivors Network, Family Promise and promoting awareness for social justice issues through marches and demonstrations.
Food Pantry – MCC of the Palm Beaches’ Food Pantry has grown to serve approximately 2,000 people each month. Our food pantry has been closed due to Covid and we hope to re-open in June of 2022.
The HIV Long Term Survivors Network helps to build and maintain a resilient community of long term survivors by providing social, educational and other activities that nurture connecting relationships with others and promotes life-affirming self-care. For additional information, please contact our HIV Program Director, Chris Lacharite at chris@mccpb.org.
Food for The Soul
The Food Pantry and the Long Term Survivors Network have teamed up to begin Food for the Soul, a food delivery program for food insecure homebound people living with HIV. To volunteer or get additional information sign up at the Connections Table or contact Chris Lacharite at Chris@mccpb.org.
Rainbow Ball – a “fun-filled evening of dancing and dining, entertainment and socializing.” It is MCCPB’s largest annual fundraiser. We also present the Ruby Red Slipper Award to a member of the community for their dedication and service to the LGBTQ community.
Pridefest – Palm Beach Pride is the Palm Beaches’ largest LGBTQ visibility event and a celebration of the community’s true and great diversity. At this annual event, volunteers share MCCPB’s welcoming and inclusive message of love and respect by staffing a MCCPB booth, hosting a Sunday Service in Lake Worth and marching in MCCPB’s contingent in the Pride Parade through the streets of downtown Lake Worth.
Due to Covid-19, most of these opportunities are currently suspended. The Long-Term Survivor Network and Food of the Soul ministries continue to operate. Contact Chris@mccpb.org or fill out form below for more details.
