2019 Update

It’s been a very busy and productive year here at 5&2 Ministry.  We added a huge committee to our program for fundraising and financial planning.  We affectionately call this committee the Fin&Fun Committee and we honestly do not know where we would be as a ministry without their loving guidance and support.  We also dove into the world of Grant Writing and were awarded a few grants.  We utilized this money to start a pilot program at Ring Elementary and to renovate our new Warehouse in Clymer, NY.  Heil Transportation generously donated space to us at their facility on West Main in Clymer, NY and we could not be more grateful.  We utilized this space for an Open House this year in conjunction with our GivingTuesday Campaign. We are so grateful to the folks at Clymer United Methodist Church and humbly acknowledge all the opportunity this space provided for us.  But with all good things, we had a “good” problem and out grew our space. We packed nearly 14,000 bags in 2019 and are projected to pack nearly 20,000 in 2020.  Thank you again to Clymer United Methodist Church and Heil Transportation for the generous donation of space!!  

We continue with our fundraising efforts in 2019.  We have an annual Meat Raffle, Golf Scramble, Charity Auction, Holiday Home Tour and various food drives throughout the year.  We were sad to see the GA homes close, but opportunity came knocking for the Clymer French Creek Library after school and summer snack program and we look forward to expanding at Ring Elementary.  We have a great volunteer base but are always looking for more.  Please consider donating your time once a month to our pack sites or to our various fundraising efforts by contacting us through our website at 5and2ministry.com.  Thank you-

March 2017

March was such an exciting month for 5 and 2 Ministry!! 

We are so thankful and blessed.  We can't wait to share with you what we have been up to! 

     The Clymer PTSO had a Movie night on March 10th and a food collection for us.  The kids had such a fun night and contributed to a Ministry in their Community.  How awesome is that?!!  We are still so amazed at how much was collected!!  Thank you Clymer PTSO!! 

     Sarah King at Corry First also held a collection night on March 17th.  She organized the entire event and collected over 150 juice boxes from her H2O Friday Night Flood Youth Group!  They received a Shamrock Shake from Sarah and her H2O team in exchange for donating.  Jen Heiser and her son Tristan were able to attend, thank the youth and pray over the collection of juice boxes.  They were so grateful for the experience.  Thank you Sarah King and Corry First!!

     French Creek General Store volunteered to be a Collection Site and a Donation Bin is now in their store.  Thank you French Creek Store!!  We look forward to partnering with you!!

     Laurie Beckerink presented at Edwards Chapel United Methodist Church on Sunday March 19th.  The kind members of this church already had a collection started and took a Love Offering for 5 and 2!  How great is that?!!  There is now a collection bin in their church and they are a Donation Site.  We were greeted with a warm reception and it was so nice to share our story with our friends at Edwards Chapel.  Thank you!!!

     Also, the Sunday School Class at Clymer United Methodist Church had a Chocolate Sale to benefit 5 and 2 Ministry.  This was completely organized by the Adult Sunday School Class and we were absolutely amazed at what they were able to raise for us.  Thank you Ladies and Gentelemn!!!

     I just want to close by saying that our lives have been so blessed by all that is going on in this Community.  We will continue to keep our eyes on Him and to Him be ALL the glory and praise!  Thank you!!
