The Annunciation Homeless Ministry

 

CURRENT AND UPCOMING HOMELESS MINISTRY PROJECTS

  • November 15th—The annual Warm Winter Clothing Drive begins. We appreciate all your donations, but during Advent, we request that you only donate hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets. Please hold onto your clothing donations, household items, and books until further notice.
  • November 16th AGAPE Bags - As we did last year during the Nativity Fast, the Homeless Ministry has assembled AGAPE Bags for our parishioners and upcoming ADVENT retreat guests to take and give to someone in need. Please take as many bags as you would like to have on hand. Keep some in your car or carry one with you on your commute. When you see someone in need, you can give them this small gift of hope and love.
  • November 24th - Please join us after Liturgy for fellowship as the Homeless Ministry will host our Kalosorisma. We will serve a fasting version of the same foods we serve at Aviator Park to those experiencing homelessness. We hope this offering will further connect our church family to those we serve. We welcome questions about the work being done by our church ministry and conversations about how you can share your God-given gifts with others through the Homeless Ministry. Please consider bringing a donation of hats, gloves, scarves, or a blanket for our Annual Warm Winter Clothing Drive to help those experiencing homelessness.
  • Annual Toy Drive participation in the Matthew 25 Angel Tree.

Thank you for sharing your “time, talent, and treasures”!

With much gratitude and prayers for a Blessed Nativity Fast!

MISSION

As a ministry of people helping people, our mission is to serve the homeless in our neighborhood and in Philadelphia in various capacities.

We offer food and clothing to those in need who stop by the church during the week; we feed college students who are experiencing food insecurity; we collect and provide clothes, dry goods, and books to local shelters; and we provide backpacks to local youth in need.

PARTICIPATION

Donations of good, clean clothes are always needed. Check our Weekly Bulletin and Community Calendar for current and upcoming projects.
