First Presbyterian Church of Warren (MI), part of Detroit Presbytery, was the church spotlighted in the November 2020 issue of Our Hands, published by Samaritas. The congregation stored, organized, and partially supplied backpacks for foster kids and refugee students. The sanctuary was filled with nearly 1,000 backpacks during the drive!
