The Scattered People of God
We follow the teachings of Jesus in all we do at Parson's Porch. We believe that if we do not care for the "least of these" in a practical and daily way, we have failed as human beings and any success as a publisher is woefully inadequate. We support the work of New Life Community Kitchen, The Salvation Army, and the Cleveland Emergency Shelter.
The following list reflects the type of items we buy each month for the homeless and displaced people in Cleveland, Tennessee. If you would like to buy these items for us to give the homeless, shop in our Store.
