Outreach Programs
Overview & Philosophy
"For I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked, and you gave me clothing..." Matthew 25:35
We believe:
- Faith is lived out in action, especially in service to those who are most vulnerable.
- Any of us can be on either side of the table, giving or receiving support. So we stand by each other as ‘Neighbors Helping Neighbors’.
- None of us can do this work alone. Rather, it takes all of us, making unique contributions and working collaboratively. We believe that ‘It takes a community…and we are it!’
