What Can I do?
Share your unique talent - baking, teaching, sewing, mending, gardening, welcoming newcomers, simple carpentry , landscaping, washing and ironing, computer skills, knitting, and crocheting are a few of the skills needed. The possibilities are endless. Just call with an idea!
Donate items such as food, clothing, used linens or towels, toiletries, baked goods, stationery, pens and pencils, disposable razors, school supplies, cleaning products or paper products. There is a great need for all of these items and more! Holiday Food Drives, Winter collections of coats, hats, gloves and scarves and “Giving Tree Gifts” at Christmas are a few of the ways we work together to donate items to those in need.
Volunteer to serve or host. Assistance is needed serving bereaved families at post-funeral receptions, 150+ guests at the Mustard Seed, and families with children at the Interfaith Family Shelter. Our Pastor would like to get to know the friends and neighbors in our parish. We invite you to consider hosting a gathering of “neighbors” in your home. At times our parishioners are in need of a meal or a dessert during times of illness or injury.
Serving is our privilege.
Volunteer opportunities may take only a few minutes or a few hours. Let’s work together to match your skills, talents and gifts with needs in our community and neighborhoods.
For more detailed information and the most current and pressing needs contact Annie Doyle – Parish Outreach Coordinator 508-450-4134Please don't wait to be asked!
