COMMUNITY OUTREACH

St. Thomas Episcopal Church has a long tradition of community outreach both inside and outside our immediate community.  Adults and kids of all ages within the St. Thomas family participate in a variety of outreach programs including:

  • St. Thomas Youth Group Bridges Run –  Delivering food and clothing to homeless men and women in Newark and Irvington

  • Hurricane Sandy storm relief – Delivery of food clothing and household goods to families affected by the storm

  • Episcopal Relief and Development  –   www.episcopalrelief.org  provides timely relief services around the world – including to the most recent victims of the Oklahoma tornados

  • Flemington Food Pantry – Our Church School children raise money each year and purchase items needed by the Flemington Food Pantry.  For their most recent trip, St. Thomas kids raised over $1,000.  They made their purchases making use of coupons and discounts, then delivered to the pantry and stocked the shelves

  • Nets For Life – St. Thomas has provided support for the Nets For Life program which provides mosquito nets to communities in Africa

  • Interfaith Hospitality Network – St. Thomas has provided support for the IHN which assists individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness in Hunterdon County
