Be the Hands is Cary Presbyterian's signature congregation-wide community service effort.  Since 2017 we have assisted the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, assembled Presbyterian Disaster Clean-up Kits, done yard work for church members, and much more. Beginning in 2024/2025, most Be the Hands projects are moving to the spring, but you can still serve this fall. See the opportunities below.
