The members of St. Antony’s are committed to reaching out to people in need. We do this both by providing financial support to worthwhile programs and by volunteer work in our community. The Outreach Committee meets every first Tuesday at 7:00 PM on Zoom to help coordinate our work in our community.
We’re making Ditty Bags for Mission to Seafarers that will be donated in November 2021. During the holidays, the Center for Mission to Seafarers provides every visiting seafarer with a ditty bag. If you knit or sew, we welcome your hand crafted bags and hats. If you shop, we welcome your offerings of basic toiletries. We’ll have a ditty bag sewing party in October and a ditty bag stuffing party on November 13.
Instructions for making ditty bags can be found here. Instructions for knitting hats can be found here.
Some of the programs we support are:
The Lord’s Neighborhood Diner
Coffee Oasis
Chaplains on the Harbor
Kathleen Sutton Fund
Central Kitsap Food Bank
Mission to Seafarers
