Outreach Ministry

Service is at the heart of the St. Augustine's parish community.

Our Outreach ministry financially supports both local and global non profit organizations answering the call to help end hunger, homelessness and poverty. Recently St. Augustine parishioners answered the challenge of packing of 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger.

Rise Against Hunger

RAH Collage x590_edited.jpg

In April 2022, St. Augustine of Canterbury embarked on a new Outreach project to help end world hunger by 2030. We partnered with Rise Against Hunger, an international hunger relief organization that distributes food and life-changing aid to the world's most vulnerable, mobilizing the necessary resources to yes, end hunger by 2030. Right now, they have a specific focus on helping Ukraine.

 

We put out a call for 40 volunteers to come pack 10,000 meals in two hours and 80 people enthusiastically responded. And we are prepared to do it again. Read our story>

Thank You Card Outreach

Sharing the Love! St. Augustine of Canterbury is reaching out in love to local teachers and healthcare and hospice workers by delivering "thank you" cards to those dedicated professionals committed to caring for our community. To date, this ministry has delivered over 500 cards to the faculty and staff of Glendale Elementary, Citrus Elementary, Vero Beach Elementary, and staff members of Cleveland Clinic. Help us meet our goal to send 550 care cards to our local hospice center. Join in on this outpouring of gratitude by writing your own personal message; thank you cards are available in the Narthex and the Parish Hall after Sunday services.
