If you would like to help with any of our outreach programs, call the church office or send us a message. We would love and appreciate the help. 

One of the ways we live out our faith is by caring for our neighbors in need. Throughout the year, members of our congregation prepare and serve meals for residents at Eddy Shelter on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. This ministry is a simple but meaningful way to share God's love through hospitality, compassion, and service.

We welcome donations of desserts, breads, salads, vegetables, and other side dishes to accompany these monthly meals. Whether you enjoy baking, cooking, or simply want to contribute, every donation helps provide a warm, nourishing meal and reminds our neighbors that they are cared for by their community.

In addition to meals, Eddy Shelter is often in need of everyday essentials that help provide comfort and dignity to those they serve. Donations of twin-size sheets, comforters, blankets, bottled water, personal care items, and grab-and-go snacks such as protein bars, granola bars, fruit cups, nuts, and cheese sticks are always appreciated.

This ministry is also a wonderful opportunity for families to serve together. Children and youth are encouraged to participate by helping collect donations, preparing food, or learning firsthand how small acts of kindness can make a lasting difference in someone's life.

By working together, we help ensure that those experiencing homelessness or hardship are met not only with food and essential supplies but also with compassion, hope, and the reminder that they are valued members of our community.

If you would like to donate food, supplies, or help deliver a meal, please contact Paulie Lally. We invite you to join us as we share Christ's love through service—one meal, one act of kindness, and one neighbor at a time.

This summer, our Sunday School children and Christian Education Ministry are putting their faith into action by sponsoring a Collection Drive for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut through the end of August.

When a child is receiving medical treatment, families often face long days, unexpected expenses, and time away from home. Ronald McDonald House Charities provides a welcoming place for families to stay close to their children while they receive the care they need. By collecting everyday household items, food, toiletries, and gift cards, we can help ease some of those burdens so families can focus on what matters most—their child's healing.

Every donation, whether large or small, makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can help stock the House with essential supplies, provide comfort to families during difficult times, and demonstrate Christ's love through acts of kindness and generosity.

We invite our congregation and the wider community to join us in this mission. Collection bins are located at the church, and donations will be accepted through August 31.

Thank you for helping us help Ronald McDonald House care for families when they need it most. Together, we can make a lasting impact—one donation at a time.
