South Mecklenburg Presbyterian Church is dedicated to serving our community through a variety of initiatives. We host regular American Red Cross Blood Drives to help meet the constant need for blood donations. In addition, we provide bag lunches for the Roof Above homeless shelter, donate and deliver bread to those in need, and many other worthy causes.
We encourage you to get involved and help SMPC serve our community.
Bag Lunches for Roof Above
SMPC is committed to providing 100 bag lunches a month to help feed our unsheltered neighbors at Roof Above. Contact: Julie Durham
Center of Hope
The Salvation Army Center of Hope provides emergency housing to women and children in need. We serve those who temporarily call Center of Hope home in a variety of ways from making Welcome Home Baskets to serving breakfast and providing desserts.
CROP Hunger Walk
Sponsor a walker or join us as we walk to fight hunger every October. Contact: Lindsey Odom
Nourish Up
We support Nourish Up (formerly known as Loaves and Fishes) with several food drives per year and sort and distribute food at the pantry. Nourish Up is working to end food insecurity in our community.
Room in the Inn
We partner with two other churches to help with dinner, overnight stays, breakfast, and cleanup. Room in the Inn is an initiative led by Roof Above. Upcoming dates to serve in 2026 are January 7, February 15 and March 1. Contact: Amy Matthews
Shelter Ministry
This group meets on the second Thursday of every month at 9:00 a.m. in Mecklenburg Hall. They collect and fill empty prescription bottles with products for Roof Above.
