One Church working together for the Glory of God
What does it mean to be One Church despite our differences? 1 Corinthians 12 reminds us that believers are one body in Christ, each playing a vital role. John 17 echoes this, as Jesus prays for unity so the world may believe in Him. When churches work together, we glorify God and reflect His love. Join our Easter Outreach with 40+ church partners and serve our neighbors in unity. Get involved today!
Easter Outreach: A 15-Year Journey of Feeding Philadelphia and Celebrating the Resurrection
For over 15 years, Easter Outreach has united churches across Philadelphia to celebrate the Resurrection by providing meals to those in need. What started in 2010 as a small initiative by Liberti Church Riverwards has grown into Small Things Inc., a full-time food distribution network that has provided over 24 million pounds of food. In 2025, Easter Outreach continues its mission with Convoy of Hope, sparking 40 community celebrations filled with food, fellowship, and faith. Discover how this movement connects churches with their neighbors and transforms lives—one meal at a time.
From Feeding the Hungry to Building Friendships: The Lasting Impact of Metro Church’s Partnership with Easter Outreach
After being part of Easter Outreach, Metro Church leaders decided to distribute food monthly – not just at Eastertime. The church even upped its game and now delivers much of the food. The result is a strong connection with their neighbors.
“Through Easter Outreach, we built strong relationships, trained our congregation to engage with the community, and gained the trust of our neighbors. This connection led to even more opportunities to serve throughout the year,” said Josh. “Today, thanks to Easter Outreach, Metro Church continues to serve our neighbors in meaningful ways, delivering groceries and essential household items every month while engaging in daily conversations to listen, pray for, and help where we can.
What started as a simple outreach event has blossomed into real friendships, and we are no longer just neighbors to many in East Falls—we are true friends."
Getting Ready for Easter Outreach 2025
In celebration of the Resurrection, Small Things is hosting its 15th annual Easter Outreach to feed hungry Philadelphians. Easter Outreach started in 2000 as a program managed by our Executive Director, Rev. Vito Baldini, when he was on staff at Liberti Church Center City. The last year Vito was on staff, he had 90 churches involved in distributing 40,000 meals. When Vito left the church to become a missionary to Philadelphia, he brought with him his knowledge of food sourcing and distribution. He founded Small Things with the goal of giving out food to hungry people every week, but kept his special emphasis on celebrating the Resurrection with food.
