POP’s Treasures, a volunteer-run boutique at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, raises thousands each month through donated goods, not for itself, but to support outreach ministries. In 2025, the ministry gave $20,000 to Undue Medical Debt, helping erase more than $3.1 million in medical debt for 1,975 people in Northampton County.
