Be the Hands is Cary Presbyterian's signature congregation-wide community service effort, offering many one-time service opportunities within a few weeks.  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.
