The Outreach Committee is currently involved in a number of activities and projects. As members of St. Andrew’s Church and as the body of Christ, we are presented with a variety of options to help others as God would have us do. You can choose a one-time event, an ongoing project, or bring up something new. The choice is yours! We welcome everyone to share their talents, passions and gifts.

Maybe you have an idea for an outreach ministry, a passion or have a talent that you’d like to share to help benefit others? Bring it up to anyone on the Outreach Committee. Or, if you’d like to join an initiative already in motion, we welcome the hands, hearts and minds! In light of our families, busy schedules and work, our meetings are done via email.

What our congregation is currently involved in and the initiative leaders for that outreach:

Bucks Landing Food Pantry:         

Sue Manchon

Keep your eyes and ears open for the item of the week! That would be the item most requested by the food pantry that week. It will be in the bulletin and posted on the bulletin board. There is always an ongoing need all non-perishables, especially cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits and veggies as well! 

Grocery Gift Card Program:       

Mike, Diane, Lauren & Kaitlyn O'Connor

St. Andrew's generous congregation helps a minimum of 20 families during the holidays with $50 grocery gift cards to help provide their dinners. We partnered with the Centennial School District. The social worker, Mr. Chuck James identifies the families in need in the school system and delivers the gift cards to them. We have a second collection during the respective months to help fund this outreach. Anything collected over the amount needed goes into the Pastor’s Discretionary fund to help those in need year-round.

American Red Cross Blood Drive:    

Patti Stone & Linda Vataha

Our blood drives are scheduled every January, April, July and October. Roll up your sleeves to save lives with us!

Ronald McDonald House:                

Ruth Miller-Negovan

We collect aluminum pop tabs from soda cans, soup cans, etc. RMH sells these tabs to a scrap metal dealer, turning them into cash to help run the House.

Glasses for the Masses:                 

Charlotte Price

We ask the congregation to donate old eye glasses of any variety instead of throwing them away to help benefit others.

There is a collection box at church just down the stairs on the right for the donated glasses and aluminum pull tabs.

Masonic Village:                             

Kathy, Liam & Ciara McFeely

A group of adults and youth visit the residents of Masonic Village periodically. Stay tuned for more information on future visits at the Masonic Home! It will be announced during service and/or in your weekly bulletin.

Vacationers With A Purpose:        

Arlene Siron

Annual mission trip to Lumberton, NC in October. More information to come as we get closer to the date!

Bucks Back Program:                  

Linda Vataha

We host the Bucks County Opportunity Council January through April at our church. They provide a free tax preparation for low income individuals and families. IRS-trained and certified volunteers prepare and e-file tax returns while you wait.

Christ's Home for Children:          

Linda Vataha

Calling all volunteers...  If you’d like to get involved by volunteering your time with the children (infants through teens), please contact Amy Neill at Christ’s Home at 215-956-2260 or email at ANeill@christshome.org.
