Jesus commands us to feed the hungry.
Pekin First offers food to those in need.
After Phase 3-Feast At First – The first Saturday of every month we serve a free meal to anyone in the community in need of food. While under state guidelines we are doing a Grab n Go sack lunch.
Snack Packs – Many children who receive free or reduced priced school meals are left without adequate nutrition on the weekends. Our Snack Pack program fills this gap by providing healthy, kid-friendly, and easy to prepare foods to children at Dirksen School.
Jesus said “Let the little children come to me”.
Pekin First shares the love of Christ with children.
Upward – Children K-6th grade enjoy this faith based basketball league that teaches children to “Play With Purpose” by incorporating devotions and prayer into the teaching of basketball.
ROC Kids – We “Reach Our Community” through ROC Kids by building relationships with the children at Pekin Housing. We enjoy playing games, doing crafts, teaching lessons, field trips and a variety of activities each week.
These are just a few of the serving opportunities available at Pekin First.
