Zion members support the Greater Utica Food Banks on a weekly basis by bringing in donations of non-perishable food items and other items of need. 

Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas are times of special need for people using the Food Bank. Members' monetary contributions throughout the year help to purchase hams, turkeys, chicken and enough food to make a complete holiday meal. 

We also have a recycling "bottle return station" in the downstairs coatroom. Members and guests are encouraged to bring their bottles/cans to church. The money that is made from bottle returns is given directly to area food pantries.
