The Outreach Office
If you or someone you love is in need of a home visit, Eucharist brought to your home, or maybe a meal, please call Nancy at 682-3319.
The demands on the Parish Pantry or as you may know it, the poor box, have grown significantly with the downturn in the local economy. We have sometimes as many as 10 to 20 people in a weeks’ time, who may come in and ask for assistance with various needs such as rent assistance, utilities, food, gas, bus tickets and medical. We work very closely with the Salvation Army, Council of Community Services, other local churches and a few other organizations to ensure that we are not duplicating assistance. Any offering to the poor box will benefit many, who may have lost their jobs, or had their hours cut back. We also have many single mothers who seek assistance as well as those with disabilities. Thank you for your gift of giving, that has allowed the church to help so many.
