Presbyterian Pantry

Our pantry is open on the 1st Saturday of the month from 9 - 11:00 am and the 3rd Thursday of the month from 4:30 - 6:00 pm. Guests are asked to drive to the back of the church and get in line, staying in their car. A volunteer will come to them to check them in and the food will then be delivered to your vehicle. Along with shelf stable items, if available frozen meat, produce, bread and milk are provided.

The Blessing

Once per year the Mission Committee gives a substantial monetary gift to an organization in the Cedar Valley nominated and voted on by the congregation.

Why? A large donation can accomplish a few things that smaller gifts might not accomplish. An organization can immediately consider larger endeavors, new programs, or expansion of services that they might not be able to consider, possibly coupled with other funds or matching gifts. This is an opportunity for our church to help a local organization make a larger impact!

Prior recipients were NAMI (2019), Kaden's Closet (2020), House of Hope (2021, Cedar Valley Angels (2022), Hospitality House of the Cedar Valley (2023) and Alive and Running (2024).

Free Christmas Dinner

This has been an annual tradition at Westminster for 44 years. It’s difficult to determine who has more fun …. our guests or the volunteers who make it possible. Westminster offers a traditional holiday dinner with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, rolls and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. While our congregation takes the lead in this event, volunteers from throughout our community come together to annually help serve on Christmas Day.
