FAST Program

Family Assistance for Special Travel Fund (FAST)

     The Family Assistance for Special Travel Fund (FAST) was created to assist families in the area that need to travel swiftly for a medical emergency procedure or testing for their child. We’re here to provide plane tickets, gas money, hotel stay, and meal costs for the rest of the family that must travel to be with their child.

Food 4 Kids Program

FOOD FOR KIDS OVER THE WEEKENDS

     Food 4 Kids began in 2013 with the idea that some school kids in Cody were coming to school on Mondays hungry.  A steering committee, formed by members of two churches, decided to create a backpack program, which would provide a bag of food for school kids to take home on the weekends. Those two churches were the First Presbyterian Church of Cody and Christ Episcopal Church of Cody.

The Good Samaritan Group

BOARD OF DEACONS ASSISTS

     The Deacons continue to work closely with the Good Samaritan Group in granting aid requests. This group includes Christ Episcopal Church, St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, and the United Methodist Church. Our churches receive reports and information from either each other or the One Less Stop Shop (OLSS). This is an entity that is a part of the Poverty Alleviation Coalition. They are located in the same office as the Heart Mountain Free Clinic. This is a central location for people living in poverty to be connected with community resources/assistance without having to go from place to place. Again, located in the same office as the Heart Mountain Free Clinic: 1735 Sheridan Avenue, Suite 205, Cody.

FPCC MISSION TO THE BAHAMAS

The FPCC Youth partnered with Praying Pelican Missions to take a mission trip to the Bahamas. On their first work day they went to the school with kids from nursery age up to 6th grade. They worked on the alphabet with them as well as numbers and colors. They then played games including an Easter Egg Hunt. In the afternoon the team loved on babies in the nursery, organized a catch-all closet, and helped dig a hole for a cross to be placed. The next work day they spent at the school with the older kids playing "Duck, Duck, Goose" and "Red Light, Green Light," as well as helping with some teaching. In the afternoon they helped with food distribution and helped hand out fliers for a Women's Prayer Gathering. The following work day the group was back at the school to help teachers with craft day. FPCC gathered at the picnic table area and set up different craft stations. They then helped students make bracelets, finger painted, and glued cotton balls to make sheep. That evening FPCC had a youth group night playing games and sharing Bible stories. They also built birdhouses and ended it all with a big Easter Egg Hunt.

They, along with several other church groups, worked to clear, then take a house down to the studs. The house will then be made live-able again by the next mission group's work.
