History
In the early 1980’s a group of First Community Church members gathered to develop a congregation-wide mission project to “put their faith into action”. This task force, named Project Adelphos, sought to address various needs in the community by connecting volunteers one-on-one with those seeking assistance. As a result of this effort Heart to Heart was established in 1986 and the first paid employee, Jill Thomas, was hired as Director. Over time, the mission shifted its focus from tackling a variety of minor issues to prioritizing a critical need: ensuring food security. Through the commitment and passion of FCC members, volunteers, and the local community, the ministry has grown from a congregational mission to a valuable community resource as Heart to Heart food pantry.
