During the summer, when children do not receive free/reduced lunch at school, PROP provides additional food for families who often have difficulty securing enough food in the summer months. More than 800 school age kids receive healthy and nutritious food, including kid-friendly staples like mac & cheese, peanut butter, sliced deli meat, yogurt, cheese sticks and granola bars. This summer Immanuel is collected 5oz cans of tuna in water. We have a goal of collecting 400 cans each months - May, June & July.
Help Deacon Savannah and her pet cockatiel 'Tuna' reach our next goal by July 1st!

Each year Immanuel hosts a Bingo Benefit for PROP under a giant tent in our parking lot, as a part of our Welcome Weekend activities. Hundreds of volunteer hours make this fun, important day happen! Over $2,500 was raised at our 2023 event!
