Interfaith Cooperative Ministry (ICM) is a local mission that receives one-fourth of our annual mission money. Recognized as the agency that benefits from food drives held at Westminster, they also encourage gifts of clean used clothing, shoes, toiletries, small household items and toys. A large box in the church secretary’s office is provided for these donations.
A practice that has been popular in recent years, but lately has not been practiced, is honoring a loved one, a special event or memorializing those dear ones that have departed life by making a financial contribution to ICM, then having information regarding your dear one, event, etc. in the bulletin on a particular Sunday at which time our attractive silk floral arrangement will be placed at the top of the chancel steps. Please consider helping to revive this time-honored practice in the future.
In the year 2009, ICM served 66,935 persons and 11,783 families. Total number of singles (includes elderly) was 4,313. Total number of food distributions were 69,573.
Volunteer hours for the year were 13,367.
