Outreach Committee
-
- Meeting Day
- Meetings are called as necessary
The Outreach Committee liaises between Glenburnie United Church and the Glenburnie and surrounding communities. To this end we plan practical ways to reach out to others. Here are some examples. We collect donations of food from the Glenburnie area homes for the Southern Frontenac Community Services annual Food Drive. We help the Salvation Army pack Christmas hampers. We help the Fairmount Nursing Home. We collect a variety of items for Kingston Interval House.
We welcome participants! Please let the church office know if you are interested in serving in this way. And please remember our Glenburnie Mission and Outreach Projects.
