St. George's Episcopal Church
St. George's Episcopal Church | Growing in Christ's Love and Service | 5520 Far Hills Avenue, Dayton Ohio  45429 | 937-434-1781
Outreach


Service in the Community and the World is reaching out in Christ's love ...

The Social Issues Committee examines the needs and concerns of those in the greater community and the world beyond our congregation and coordinates outreach ministries. The committee makes recommendations to the Vestry regarding outreach grants and sponsors the annual Spaghetti Supper which benefits outreach projects. Social Issues sponsors St. George's participation in CROP Walk, Blanket Sunday, and community food collections.

Habitat for Humanity 
St. George's joins with other area Episcopal churches to fund and build Habitat homes in Dayton. Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide non-denominational organization committed to seeing that all people have decent housing.

CROP Walk
When CROP began in 1947 the name was an acronym for the Christian Rural Overseas Program; its primary mission was to help Midwest farm families to share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. CROP is no longer an acronym; it is the name given to community, interfaith hunger education and fundraising events sponsored by Church World Service in which St. George's participates.

ERD ERD logo
Episcopal Relief and Development is the collective response of Episcopalians to help people in need.  Through grants for emergency relief, rehabilitation and development ERD responds to people in need in the U.S. and around the world.

St. George's Rummage Sale is organized and conducted by volunteers to raise funds for outreach projects. The rummage sale is held on the first weekend in October.

Salvation Army Meal Preparation,
the second Wednesday of each month, volunteers prepare a meal in the church kitchen to be served downtown at Booth House through a program for the homeless administered by the Salvation Army.

The Other Place Breakfast
Volunteers serve breakfast on the fourth Saturday of each month at The Other Place, a daytime shelter.

Fair Trade Coffee
Fair Trade Certified  Bishop's Blend
At the November 2004 diocesan convention, delegates voted to encourage congregations to serve Fair Trade coffee at church events.  There is a special brand of Fair Trade coffee, "Bishop's Blend," which is private labeled by Pura Vida. Profits from Bishop's Blend go to Episcopal Relief and Development

Blanket Sunday is one way St. George's partners with Church World Service.  The Tools of Hope & Blanket Program provides the right tools at the right time and makes a world of difference in the lives of people in need.  Blankets, tents, bedding, and other emergency supplies in the wake of natural disasters and human calamities are very real tools of hope.

Alcoholics Anonymous
St. George's hosts AA meetings Fridays at 7:00 and 8:30 p.m. The primary purpose of AA is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
