At St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Westford, MA, outreach is a vital part of our mission to serve the community with compassion and love. Each month, we focus on a specific outreach initiative aimed at addressing urgent needs in our local and regional communities. From collecting essential items for those experiencing homelessness to supporting food drives and social justice efforts, our congregation comes together to make a meaningful impact.
We invite everyone to get involved by donating items, contributing funds, or volunteering their time. These monthly outreach efforts are an opportunity to live out our faith through action, supporting our neighbors, and building a stronger, more caring community. No matter the size of your contribution, every effort makes a difference.
Outreach For December: Gloves for the Unhoused.
St. Paul's Soup Kitchen is conducting a drive in December for articles of warm clothing and toiletries for the people they serve in Lowell, as we get into the colder months. St. Mark's has decided to provide gloves, with a goal of providing 50 pairs. They can be new or gently used. We welcome donations of gloves as well as money to buy gloves. The donations made to the Outreach box at the front of the sanctuary in December will go towards purchasing gloves. We will also have a box in the narthex for collecting gloves, and a bin outside the entrance to the admin wing where you can drop off gloves when the church isn't open.
