Outreach to our community

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 monthly every second Wednesday at 11am in person at church to help coordinate our work in our community. 

During the holidays, some years we have participated in making Ditty Bags for Mission to Seafarers. 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 had 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:

  • Coffee Oasis

  • Central Kitsap Food Bank
  • Mission to Seafarers
