Dan and Elizabeth Turk serve in Madagascar and work as advisors on environment and health concerns. Dan helps the local people grow native trees for beautification and to increase appreciation for Madagascar's amazing biodiversity. They will use these skills to help their community and families to achieve improved food security and nutrition. He also helps pastoral students grow fruits and vegetables. Elizabeth works to help design and implement a community health program. The program works with rural communities to prevent and treat the major illnesses that threaten health: malaria, measles, diarrhea and pneumonia.
Rise Against Hunger
Meal packaging events provide a platform to educate and engage thousands of volunteers in a tangible effort to end hunger, helping to overcome apathy while offering a fun, hands-on and rewarding experience for anyone of any age. Volunteers from First Presbyterian, including everyone from children to older adults, participate annually in meal packaging events at area churches.
