Portland Avenue Community Trust (PACT) is a not-for-profit food pantry and clothes closet serving the Portland area. It began as a ministry of Portland Avenue Presbyterian Church, but in 1998 was separated from that church in order to receive grants and metro support that is not supplied to religious entities. From the earliest days, several Presbyterian churches, including Springdale, have supported the completely volunteer program with donated food, money, and volunteers. In addition to an annual mission grant Springdale collects gently used or new in-season clothing to donate. Look for the collection box in our Gathering Area. |

In addition to our local involvement, our concern for others extends to international and global need, too. One way we do that is by supporting the efforts of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - our denominational body that cares for families and communities affected by disasters, and to help them achieve long-term physical, psychological and spiritual recovery as a witness to the healing love of Christ. Once again, we do this through a combination of material and volunteering. |

The Hope Village, located at 212 East College Street in Louisville, is a project where individuals experiencing homelessness can live temporarily outdoors with access to food, shelter, showers and outreach services. Its mission is to bridge the gap between the streets and stable housing by creating and operating transformational housing communities in partnership with people experiencing homelessness. All of the meals at Hope Village are provided by the community—restaurants, groups or individuals. Since 2021, Springdale has provided a meal for Hope Village every fifth Sunday. |
