A percentage of HPPC’s total budget is allocated for the Missions Ministry, chaired by Nancy Corwin and Ann Shipherd. The committee decides on the organizations and amounts to be donated during the year. (See end of article.)In addition to monetary donations, the congregation joins in supporting projects throughout the year. The projects are publicized and members respond generously to requests for donations of needed items. If you would like to “champion” one of these projects, please see Nancy or Ann, or
