Outreach
Faith that shows up. We put love into action through service, compassion, and support for our wider community.
It simply is the heart of God
Outreach is how St. Andrew's puts faith into action through service, compassion, and support for our wider community. We seek to respond to local needs with generosity, dignity, and Christian love.
The St. Andrew's Outreach Committee is dedicated to using its time, talents and resources to help our disadvantaged community neighbors outside the Church. We are people created in the image of God, and we have a need to reach out beyond ourselves, just as God reaches out to us.
Led by dedicated volunteers, the committee coordinates biannual grants to local charities including Mama Cleo's, Poco A Poco, and Loving Home for Boys. Over 3.3 million MXN has been awarded to date through the generosity of our congregation and proceeds from Todo Bueno.
