Who We Are

  • Bag of Hope -the CCEA provides the annual dues to the Maryland Food Bank, thus enabling approximately 30 families to purchase groceries through and at cooperative pricing.

  • The Founders' Scholarship Fund for Adult Continuing Education was established in partner-ship with Cecil College in August of 2008. Funding is dependent solely on the generosity of CCEA donors. The scholarship is awarded to an adult currently in or returning to the workforce. Cecil College seeks those now serving or have served in a volunteer capacity.  This scholarship is awarded annually as funds permit. 

  • Community Wellness Program was established in 2013.The CCEA has initiated a program of health education for both groups and for individual counseling. Conducted by registered nurses this program will provide information with a spiritual dimension on living a healthy lifestyle. We will include topics such as health insurance options, nutrition and the importance of exercise.  We will also be initiating routine monthly blood pressure monitoring within our member churches.

  • Emergency Funds special funding for needs such as rent, utility payments and prescription drugs for seniors, home repairs (small scale).

  • The Food Pantry serves over 150 families per year, providing approximately one week of as-sorted, non-perishable food goods & daily care products (when available). Hours of operation 9-12 Tuesday and Wednesday.

  •  The Generation Station (GS) was established in 1999.  GS provides a Christian based out of school program (free of charge) to middle school children which includes homework tutoring; social inter-action; skills building and access to programs such as Boys/Girls Scouts.

  • Clothing and Household Pantry: In 2010 a storage unit was donated thus starting Heaven's Helpers.  In August 2013 The CCEA secured a site at St. Basil Church Hall, 227 Basil Ave. Donated toys, household items and clothing are collected and distributed to those in need. Clothing for children & adults and toys (new & gently used) can be brought to the Complex during business hours.

  • FAX (free) by appointment only.

  • Vacation Bible School is open to children from across the Chesapeake City area, a week of fun and learning. This program has grown to approximately 100 participants each week and a huge number of volunteers to organize, super-vise and execute.

 

 

What We Do

Mission Statement: To serve as a bridge in the service gaps of our community, as they relate to financial emergencies, hunger, education and medical care. 

Vision Statement: To connect the churches of Chesapeake City through our Christian responsibility of "caring for our neighbor". This is to be done through a range of services including but not limited to financial aid, a food pantry and youth related programs. To continually seek to improve those services we currently provide and to grow both as an organization and in the ministry field as community needs are identified.
