Outreach Commission

The Outreach Commission identifies various agencies and organizations within and beyond our community to receive church assistance.  The Commission coordinates volunteer service, channels funds to support these organizations, and identifies opportunities for special projects.

Freedom House
Every other month, volunteers from St. Andrew’s serve meals at the Conrad Center of Freedom House, an organization that helps the homeless sustain, attain, and maintain the skills and resources they need to lead them toward change and a better life.  Dates for the Fall 2010 are September 15 and November 17 (Wednesdays) at 5:15 pm.  Contact Tracey Miles to volunteer.
