Outreach

"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." - Matthew 25:40

Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our Outreach
ministries identify areas of need in our local community and beyond
where parishioners share their time, talents and treasure. As is so
often the case, we discover we receive more than we give. For more details or to volunteer, contact Heather Sessing below.

December Outreach Mobile Meals Ministry

For our December outreach, we are supporting the Mobile Meals Ministry at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral by assembling Blizzard Meal Bags. To participate, simply pick up a shopping bag with an attached list from the Outreach Center, fill it with the needed items, and return it anytime during December. These meals will ensure that clients receive food when inclement weather prevents regular deliveries.

Needed items include: Hormel Compleats Meals, juice boxes/Capri Sun, individual veggie packs, canned chicken or tuna, fruit cups, cheese/peanut butter cracker packs, hot cocoa packets, granola bars, and pudding cups.

October Outreach is Cold Weather Shelter Drive

 At St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, we are committed to reaching out to our downtown community with love and grace. Read an important letter from City Care regarding myths about our homeless population HERE. One of our key initiatives is to provide support to those in need, reflecting God's love and hope for everyone. As we prepare for the colder months ahead, we are gathering items to support our cold weather shelter, which may be needed as early as this fall or winter. To assist with this effort, we invite you to check out our Amazon Wish List. You can scan the QR code or visit St. Paul's website to give directly online at Outreach under Give Online under Give and help us love our neighbors in need.

Our July Outreach is collecting school supplies for the children served at Positive Tomorrows. Positive Tomorrows is Oklahoma's only school and social services agency specifically for children and families experiencing homelessness, giving kids stability and quality education while giving their parents the support they need to create a better life. Since 1989, Positive Tomorrows has filled scrapbooks with countless success stories, but the need continues. Together we can break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. Prepare school supplies for deserving children all through July!
