The Social Outreach ministry’s aim is to improve the quality of life in our community through a series of activities that serve local needs.  It involves working with local churches and social workers from the area schools and Region #10 to assist, for example, in collecting food bank contributions and to help with coat drives for needy students. Special projects promote service to two area senior facilities and to local hospitals. We participate in area wide organizations such as PACEM (for the homeless), the Thrive Pregnancy Center, and the St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Activities may be ongoing, such as the weekly food bank contributions and the periodic fellowship visits to the senior facilities.  Other projects are time dependent, such as the March PACEM Dinner, the July Backpack project, the October Coat Drive, the November Share the Blessing Thanksgiving, and the December Angel Tree Project to provide Christmas gifts to needy families. 

Projects may be deleted or added based on circumstances facing our community, as is the case with the current health crisis.
