You’re Invited: Outreach and Social Justice Opportunities
Our Outreach and Social Justice ministries are rooted in compassion, service and care for our neighbors. We would be grateful to welcome your gifts, time and presence in any of these ministries. If you are looking for a way to get involved, please consider these immediate opportunities:
- Care Pantry Gardeners: As fall approaches, we are looking for gardeners to help with ongoing maintenance and harvesting. Every bit of produce grown will help nourish our Care Pantry families.
- St. Vincent de Paul Volunteers: In July, the St. Vincent de Paul ministry received 31 calls and distributed more than $6,000 in emergency assistance. Volunteers are needed to listen with care, reach out to neighbors in need and help determine how we can best support them. Most of this ministry work is done by phone, with monthly ministry meetings as well.
- Couriers of Compassion Prison Ministry: Deepen your understanding of our justice system while offering encouragement and connection to incarcerated individuals through meaningful pen pal correspondence at a frequency of your choosing. Meetings are held quarterly via Zoom.
If one of these opportunities speaks to your heart, or if you would simply like to learn more, please reach out to Peggy Goralski at pgoralski@stapostle.org or Nicole Hankes at nhankes@stapostle.org. We would be happy to help you find a meaningful way to serve.
