Outreach at the Church of St. Andrew, Scarborough

The Outreach Committee implements programs in the Church, community, and beyond and coordinates the FaithWorks campaign. The Outreach committee also informs the Parish of issues and concerns in our city and globally (for example: homelessness, debt forgiveness, Jubilee initiative, fair trade coffee).

The church has taken on many outreach initiatives over the years through the generosity of our parishioners. Currently special programs include:
A monthly neighbourhood lunch program where the Outreach Team provides delicious and nutritious meals to people from the neighbourhood in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
"We Care" envelopes so parishioners can make donations to help people in our parish and beyond who are facing sudden, short term crisis and to provide financial aid, from time to time, to support local agencies and programs such as women's shelters and the Flemingdon Park Ministry.
