Current Outreach Opportunities at St. James
We are asking for your support of U.S. troops stationed in Iraq by donating stationary, holiday cards for them to send to loved ones, disposable razors, shampoo, soap, suntan lotion, toothtpaste & toothbrushes, deodorant, chapstick, candy ( not chocolate), cookies, gum, games, playing cards and books. A box is provided in the parish hall.
Ongoing is our weekly collection of food for the ERA food pantry. The need is always great and every little bit helps. Remember to pick up an extra can or two when you go shopping. If you don't know what to bring...bring canned fruit. This item is always in demand and hard to to keep in supply.
St. James last annual Pancake Breakfast raised $1,001 for the ERA food pantry. Our "THANKS" to all who helped make it a great success.
The Soup Kitchen at St. Marks, Philadelphia. Remember anyone is welcome any Saturday morning - just show up between 7- 9am with willing hands.
Support the Shelter. From October through April we collect clothing for a men's shelter in Philadelphia. All donations should be put in the container in the parish hall -- suggestions include: flannel shirts, sweaters, hats, gloves, socks, underwear, sweatshirts with or without hoods -- all donations are appreciated. We suspend this collection for the summer due to storage difficulties at the shelter.
