THE CALVARY OUTREACH PROJECT

THE NEED GROWS STRONGER Dear Friends: Food programs at churches are a fundamental part of the social safety net for families in need. Calvary Episcopal Church has taken on this community-wide challenge through its commitment and service to the Crombie Street Mission’s Breakfast Program and by collecting nonperishable foods for the Danvers Food Pantry. We continue to help in the fight against the injustices of hunger and homelessness by working with north shore social services to provide emergency clothing, household goods and food for families in transition. At Calvary, our strengthened commitment to community outreach flows from a clear sense of mission. Working in cooperation with other faith communities and partnering with local organizations will, we hope, provide for a continuous and valued community resource with strong community ties. We are working to identify and respond to other human needs within the greater community to which our Church volunteers can respond. Please join us in our effort. Thank you.
