Volunteer & Giving Opportunities

Helping Hands Ministry

Members of Souderton Mennonite Church serve in the community by helping those with identified physical or economic needs make necessary minor or upgrades to their houses.  Home owners help with the work or cost to the best of their ability.  Volunteers and financial support is needed for this program.  To volunteer contact Keith Reid 215.272.9335.  To offer financial support, submit a check made out to Souderton Mennonite Church with “Helping Hands” designated on the memo line or envelope.      

The Worm Project 

The Worm Project is a global initiative that strives to relieve the suffering of millions of children by distributing pills around the world, which purge worms from the intestinal tract. Each pill costs a few cents and is good for six months!  Their goal is to give attention to the most humble — the sick and worm-infested children who seem to have few opportunities to rank on anyone’s priority list.  To donate go to www.wormproject.org.   Or mail a check made out to The Worm Project and send to Franconia Conference Center, 1000 Forty Foot Road, Lansdale, PA 19446

      The Bean Bag Food Program (friends of Zion Mennonite Church)

      Children participating in the Bean Bag Food Program receive much needed breakfasts, lunches and the weekend “Bean Bag” backpacks containing breakfast, lunch and snack items.  There are children in the program  who would have nothing to eat all weekend if it weren’t for the Bean Bags.  The Bean Bag Food Program has partnered with Penn Valley Church, Telford and Indian Valley Faith Fellowship, Harleysville to provide free bags of groceries not only to our Bean Bag families but to ALL families in the community needing food.

      You can help fill this expanded gap of hunger by:

      • Visit Landis Supermarket in Vernfield & Telford to purchase and drop off food donations.  (the Bean Bag Food Program FaceBook page has an updated shopping list.)
      • Make a monetary donation.  This is the safest and easiest way to help, it limits exposure and allows us to purchase food in bulk.  100% of donations go toward the purchase of food.
        • Donate Online:  zionmennonite.org  – click on the blue “g”
        • Mail a Check:  payable to Zion Mennonite Church/memo:  BBFP (149 Cherry Lane, Souderton Pa 18964)
