The members of Christ Church are involved in a variety of outreach efforts. Projects have included the Heifer Project, the Episcopal Charities drive, a Teddy Bear Collection for abused children, Adopt-a-Family and Heating Relief, among others. Here are some of the details:

Adopt-a-Family
This is one of the highlights of the year! For many years, we have "adopted" several families through one of the social services in the area for the Christmas season. These agencies provide us with the names, ages and "wish lists" for a number of families. The gifts are collected, blessed, then delivered to the individual families. Our goal is to increase the number of families we help each year.

 

St. George's Meal Site
The youth volunteer at the St. George's meal site on the fifth Sunday of any month having five Sundays. They are involved in soliciting donations of food, preparing and serving the meal, and cleaning up afterwards.

Other projects have included
  • Our Knitters Group has made and donated dozens of hats, mittens, scarves and gloves to Crossroads in Providence.
  • Food collections for local emergency food pantries
  • Donations for holiday baskets in Cumberland and Lincoln
  • Collection of coats for distribution through the RI Park Rangers Association
  • Collection of books for distribution through the Central Falls Family Self-Sufficiency Program
