Chosen 300

International and Global Missions

Chosen 300 is a 501c3 non-profit which brings people of different membership groups together; helping them to realize that despite our differences in our race, ethnic group, denomination, social class, economic classes, or the diverse ways we practice our faith; we can unify ourselves for the common good. The purpose of our unification is to distribute meals and services to the homeless throughout the Philadelphia Region and around the world.

Franconia Mennonite partners with Chosen 300 on the 3rd Tues of each month by serving at its Pottstown location. Chosen 300 also administers a monthly food distribution in Monrovia Liberia for unprivileged families, and provides advisement to the Liberia Task force in extending aid to schools and churches in Liberia. Franconia also leads up an annual polar bear plunge on New Year’s Day to help raise needed funds for the missions expenses and participates in its annual walk against homelessness on the 3rd Saturday in April.
