In May, CPC is participating in a statewide initiative focused on addressing gun violence. Vidas Robadas (Stolen Lives) is a Texas Impact project where names of gun violence victims are written on t-shirts and displayed outside churches and other institutions. Through memorializing victims of gun violence, Vidas Robadas localizes and makes visible the reality of gun violence for communities across our state.

Again this year CPC will have a team walking in the CROP WALK at Camp Mabry on Sunday, February 25th at 2 p.m.
Last year CPC’s Team raised $3,060! Funds raised at the Austin Crop Walk support Central Texas Food Bank, Casa Marianella, Manos de Cristo, Micah 6 of Austin, Faith Food Pantry, Mt. Olive Baptist Church Food Pantry, Urban Roots, and Austin City Lutherans Bread for All.
Join CPCs team, or donate online at 2024 CROP Hunger Walk – Central Presbyterian Church – Austin
Please help us reach our $3,500 goal! We have a silent donor who will contribute $50 for anyone who registers online under the CPC team and raises at least $50.
CPC is asking city leaders to consider policies that will better address the crises that our neighbors without homes are facing. Staff have met with leaders to ask for more emergency shelter beds and greater accessibility for individuals with the highest risk. We’re also asking for safe places for our neighbors to camp and park their cars. Read more about our advocacy efforts and the Neighbors Program here.
