| St
Simon’s Parish reach out to the community in many ways. Members of our
church donate time, money, food items and clothing to several projects
dedicated to children and fighting hunger all over the world. These are
some of the ministries that serve our community:
SEARCH
Food & Clothing Ministry is coordinated by Mr. Victor Holly who
also serves as our special representative on the Board of SEARCH outreach
center. SEARCH is a non-profit organization made up of several churches
in southeast Fort Worth and serves as an outreach center for distributing
money, food, and clothing to needy persons and families in our part of
the city.
Thanksgiving
Baskets is a speciality of St Simon’s Parish and serves to distribute
complete thanksgiving food items to needy families within the community
referred to us by Martin Luther King, Jr. Center. Mrs. Gwen Johnson coordinates
these events during Thanksgiving time.
Christmas
Toys-for-Tots, Christmas Adopt-A-Family & Easter Baskets are some
of the seasonal outreach programs God has used to bless some of the needy
families in our community.
Family
Pathfinders is one of the state programs for enabling families to move
from welfare to work, and our parish has been involved with this effort.
Mrs Willa Lister is the coordinator in our parish.
Clothing
Drive for Goodwill & Union Gospel Mission is one of those outreach
programs our parish participate in now and again. |
