Outreach Center is closed during construction of their new building; Outreach Ministry continues
Outreach Ministry is growing to serve their clients better. Thanks to the generosity of Church of Saint Mary parishioners, the church is building a new Outreach Center.
While the Outreach Center is closed currently, Outreach Ministry will continue to operate some of its mobile ministries and will continue its internal leadership development programs.
I have made a monthly contribution to Outreach for years. Now that it is closed for 6 months do I divert this money to Catholic Charities or Neighbor for Neighbor to aid families in serious financial trouble? Please confirm this is the proper response. Dal Tobin
You may support any charity you wish, but you may want to consider continuing to support Outreach during this transition.
The hope is to have Outreach Ministry established and operating in its new building this fall. Meanwhile, Outreach will keep operating its mobile projects such as the downtown water cooling stations. It will continue to support several other local ministries. I know they would appreciate your continued support.
Does this mean the food pantry will also be closed until further notice?
Yes, Outreach donated all their food to other charities. Give Catholic Charities a call. They should be able to help.
Reaching out to discuss possible grant opportunities.
