Who We Are: Weekend meals for kids One in six people in our the Phoenix Metro area are food insecure; they do not know where their next meal will come from. Unfortunately, this statistic is true for the children in the schools of our community, as well.
Why we are here VPC is a community that believes God calls us to be in relationship. Sunday morning worship is a time to gather, connect, and give thanks to the Creator who loves us without end.
VPC is a church committed to empowering the next generation. We want to ensure they have everything they need to succeed. To help accomplish this, VPC is continuing its relationship with the Health Packs Program at Navajo Elementary School. The Healthy Packs Program provides weekend meals for students that are food insecure.
