The goal of Parish Outreach is to live out our Parish mission statement that calls our community to reach out to others in love and friendship. This is accomplished by helping feed the hungry, assisting the homeless, visiting the sick, and reaching out to anyone in need. This support is given in a number of ways, such as:
-There is a food pantry that is stocked by donations of non-perishable foods from members of the Parish, as well as from religious education classes and scout troops, and various community groups. Through donations, Outreach is also able to provide supermarket gift cards to those in need, when they are available.
-Parish Outreach coordinates the assembly and distribution of food baskets for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
