South Congregational Church 1075 Washington Street Braintree, MA 02184 781-843-5155
The focus of the Missions and Outreach at South Congregational Church is to reach beyond the walls of the church locally and globally. We respond to Christ's call to "care for my people" by linking gifts of money, time, and talents to the needs for God's world.
We strive to balance the local and global mission support placing emphasis on organizations with active church member involvement.
Volunteerism is a source of our strength and, as such, we encourage hands-on participation by all members of the congregation so they can experience the joy of helping others in need.
Through weekly pledging, we support a variety of organizations and special projects, and collections during the year are made to aid local and regional homeless shelters.
We have bins to drop off gently used clothing and food pantry items throughout the year.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9
Holbrook Food pantry serves both Holbrook and Avon residents who qualify. They pass out pre-bagged groceries on the second Saturday of each month. The following Monday, qualified seniors can go and "shop" for their groceries. They hope to offer this service to seniors and disabled more often!
We will be accepting non-perishable food items and other grocery necesseties, such as dishwashing liquid and toilet paper for the months of June and July.
With your help we raised $830.00 for Lazarus House in Lawrence.
Our soup night donation helped to provide funds for their soup kitchen which serves breakfast and lunch to over 300 people, including single parent families, homeless, and seniors each day.
Our Easter Project this year was once again collecting money for Heifer International. This organization provides animals and education in the care of these animals to qualified people around the world. These animals enrich lives by providing food and livelihoods for these people.
This year we collected $2,150.00.
