These projects include St. Paul’s Cathedral for its “Paul’s

(Presbyterian World Service & Development) for disaster
relief. Other requests for assistance are handled on an ad hoc basis.
Each year, the Mission and Social Action Committee oversees New St. James’ Lenten Project called “Back to Basics” when

At Thanksgiving, seasonal fresh produce is requested and in December we run the “White Gift Sunday” project, once again requesting seasonal and specialty foods. The donations are distributed to various agencies in the city including Ark Aid
