The St. Benedict Outreach Program at St. John the Beloved is now a joint partnership with our neighbors and faith partners at Community of Christ Church located on Milltown Rd.

Our theme for 2021 is “ A Servant’s Heart” and we try to approach every day with that attitude. We also take very seriously the legacy bequeathed to us by Deacon Haley.  Since our move to our new home at Community of Christ Church, we have also started partnering with other faith congregations to serve the neediest people in our community. Our partners in this effort now include Red Clay Creek Presbyterian, St. Barnabas Episcopal, and Resurrection Parish. Together we have formed the Mill Creek Outreach Partnership and are stronger for it. 

Food donations of all kind are needed to fill the pantry. Please bring a can to campus when you visit, or click to make an online contribution at SJBDE.org/give. 

Volunteers are needed to help overswee the Clothing Closet. We are currently in need of childrens clothing and winter coats. We are also collecting gently used kids' cleats and NON-LOGO school uniform items. We are NOT accepting womens clothing at this time.

Additional Items Currently Not Being Accepted, include: 

• Mens' and Womens' dress or formal clothing
• Shoes (exception: Winter Boots)
• Books

Spring Uniform Drive: Outreach will be partnering with Friendship House to provide Red Clay School District with school uniforms this spring. The organization is committed to providing over 4000 students with their uniform needs.  

Calling all gardeners! Outreach is planning to create a Community Garden at Community of Christ Church this spring.  This garden will help us provide fresh produce for our clients as well as an opportunity to provide service and a green space for our community.  Please call or email Outreach if you have an hour or two a week and a green thumb.  

Thanks and God Bless from all of us to all of you!
