HIGHPRES FOOD RESCUE NETWORK
Connecting local social service organizations with excess food donated by local businesses is the mission of the Network. Begun originally to fill a gap in deliveries from grocers to the Greater Food Depository, the Network has expanded to donations from The Great American Bagel to senior meals and other social services. The distribution of non-food donations as well has become a function of the Network.

Sponsored wells for marion medical mission
Highlands Presbyterian Church donated a total of 14 wells with funds from purchases of veggies, honey, pickles, apple sauce, and apple butter over the past 6 years. In 2023, we have donated 6 wells making our total 20 wells since 2017.
Each well is very important to a village because it can provide enough water for up to 150 people and, more importantly, women no longer must walk long distances to obtain water for the daily use of their family.
