Community Outreach and Beyond Outreach can be described in many ways. It must be interconnected to all the other Commissions to ensure that every project undertaken embodies the "whole" of spiritual, religious and Christian essence that is St. Paul's. St. Paul's has a rich heritage of helping people and the community through values and worth projects. We provide consistent support to the local Food Pantry, Crop Walk for World Hunger, Vacation Bible School, Episcopal Relief Fund, Trick or Treat in the Village, and our Clothing Exchange....the list is long and demonstrates true Living in Grace. Outreach provides more occasions to "open-up" St. Paul's and expand our faith community by inviting people to explore what is here, following our path of Evangelism. It also strengthens the congregation and St. Paul's through joint Commission activities, and expanding ecumenical access and involvement. It is a wonderful way to serve! |

St. Pauly's Shed  The mission of St. Pauly is to collect usable clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, linen, blankets and drapes...all to distribute those donations to people that can use them in the United States and in developing countries. Instead of ending up in landfills, these items join with others collected from over 200 other sheds throughout central and western New York, get processed, and distributed world wide. In 2007, more than 38 million garments were distributed to an estimated 3.8 million people. |
