Volunteers visit residents at our local nursing homes. Most volunteers visit the person they are matched with weekly or bi-weekly. Their visits bring much needed friendship and support to residents who eagerly await visits from their St. Andrew’s friends.

Local Outreach Ministry
This ministry helps parishioners and nearby community residents in time of emergencies and temporary crisis. Among those assisted are the unemployed, transitionally homeless, single mothers, seniors, struggling veterans and people with serious illness and disabilities.
Assistance can range from securing and delivering food, providing meals, clothing, furniture and household items. We investigate and make referrals to county and outside programs offering subsidized housing, women’s services, veterans services and more. Also, the ministry serves families through our Annual Backpack and School Uniform Drive, and Christmas Giving Tree Project.
