Resurrection Outreach Ministries
Coordinator: Lou Aiello
Resurrection Outreach
Ministries are coordinated by an informal group of people who care about the local
community and who lead congregation-wide efforts supporting community needs for FOOD,
FAMILY, and SHELTER.
Our on-going ministries include the following:
 |
Last
Saturday ALIVE! Food Distribution in our parish hall. Volunteers provide hospitality
to other volunteers as well as to neighbors who come for food. We bag and distribute
groceries from 9:00 - 12:00 on the last Saturday of every month.
|
 |
Carpenter's
Shelter Meals. We provide dinner to Carpenter's Shelter on the first Sunday of the odd
numbered months. The meal is prepared in our kitchen on Sunday afternoon and delivered in
the evening.
|
 |
Habitat
for Humanity. We are a part of the Alexandria Interfaith Coalition for a Habitat Home,
and actively participated in the building of the home at 1112 Princess Street, Alexandria,
which was opened and dedicated in June, 2004. We continue to support efforts to increase
affordable housing in our neighborhoods and support Habitat for Humanity International.
|
 |
Collection
of Small Household Items. Our Outreach bulletin board continuously offers
opportunities to supply small and large needs for household items such as paper towels,
shampoo, etc., for ALIVE! House and Carpenters Shelter residents. We deliver these items
every few weeks.
|
 |
Camping
Supplies. Each summer we support Carpenter's Shelter campers going to an Episcopal
overnight camp. We contribute money for tuition as well as clothing and camping goods to
prepare each camper for an exciting adventure.
|
 |
School
Supplies. We join other Alexandria churches in collecting school supplies for needy
Alexandria school children.
|
 |
Christmas
Gifts for Network Preschool. Each year we "adopt" a class at Network
Preschool and provide Christmas gifts for each child and for the members of their
families. Network Preschool offers an academic and social foundation for at-risk children
in Alexandria.
|
The Outreach Group also
contributes money from the Parish budget, as it becomes available, for special needs for
FOOD, FAMILY, and SHELTER in our community. Please join us in making a difference.
