To Serve
—service & outreach—
Our Outreach Committee is heavily involved in many ongoing projects and coordinates donations to area groups. In Framingham, we serve dinner each month at the Salvation Army’s Miracle Soup Kitchen, we collect non-perishable foods for the food pantry at St. Tarcisius Church, we sing at a local nursing home, and we knit to clothe the less fortunate.
We hold collection drives several times a year, like school supplies and books for Biloxi, socks for the homeless, holiday toy and warm clothing drives, and we contribute to national and international charities. See the organizations below to learn how, at St. Andrew's, we “pray with our feet.”
