Parish Outreach Ministry

The ministry engages in several charitable efforts during our year. Our Thanksgiving program distributes cash food vouchers to people in need. A large part of our efforts are funded by our Giving Tree fundraiser at Christmas. In the past funds were used to buy winter coats for the homeless and to support the Foster Forward organization which aids foster children when they become 18 and become independent.

The ministry meets monthly to prepare the lunches distributed by the Loaves and Fishes truck. Outreach also makes contributions to organizations including Good Neighbors Soup Kitchen in Riverside, and charities such as Gabriel’s Call and the diocesan Keep the Heat On Program.
