The work that this ladies group does, includes giving money to held three children in the Sunday School go to camp, giving money to three young people to attend the Presbyterian Youth gathering in another city, and helping young people who attend Brock University. Their money is also used to help support the Christian Education's foster child in Central America.

This, of course, is only a snapshot of what the ladies have done and continue to do.
