Outreach at St. George's
The St. George’s Outreach Committee is currently coordinating four exciting programs.
We constantly seek to broaden participation in these and future programs to help fulfill our mission in the Body of Christ. If you would like to know more about or help with a specific program, contact the person in charge. To make a financial contribution, make your check payable to the St. George’s Outreach Committee; make a note on the memo line if you want your gift targeted to a specific program. Checks may be placed in the alms basin or sent to the church office. We guarantee financial faithfulness. Your prayers are always needed. Anyone is always welcome at Outreach meetings, the third Sunday of the month in Kleberg Hall after the 10:30 worship service (approximately 12 noon). You need not commit to regular attendance to be a valued member of this group. Contact Sarah Campbell, committee chair, at 419-1677 if you have questions or would like more information.
Group Home
We are trying to provide interesting activities for the girls in a local foster home at least monthly. We also assist in special projects like help at Christmas, back to school and activities in summer, and school holidays. We need volunteers to go on the outings, donations of tickets or other in kind amusements, and proposals for activities. Contact Katie Carnes (w. 322-2540; h. 847-8789) or Andrea Sparks (695-3245).
Trinity Center
Trinity Center ministers to the needs of the homeless in downtown Austin. St George’s is one of the local churches that assists with the weekly worship and meal program on Sunday afternoon, works with some of the programs for homeless women, and has made a capital contribution toward needed chairs. The contact person for the St. George’s help is Nancy Ricketts 327-3360.
Christopher House Baskets
St. George’s provides baskets of snacks and needed items like postage and personal items each week to families at Hospice Austin's Christopher House, a beautiful facility for people with a terminal illness. Anyone with a question about delivery times or who would like to buy a basket should check with Carolyn Moreau or the church office. The semi-annual sale is currently going on each Sunday. A schedule for the spring and summer is posted in Kleberg Hall and on this website.
Food Bags
Our latest program is a return to one of our earliest, providing a convenient assortment of shelf-stable food for the families served by Any Baby Can, a local charity which assists needy families with medically fragile or at-risk children. This program has been resumed at the request of Any Baby Can case workers; recipients have proven needs and do not receive this help from another agency. Contact Chuck Webb at 231-1730 or Pat Shoop at 836-6108.
