RUMMAGE SALE

Almost every year St. Dunstan’s holds a 2-day rummage sale to benefit the many community outreach programs supported by the church in our community. This intense ministry activity requires volunteers to serve in the following areas: by donations, promotion, transportation for some items, sorting, pricing, serving refreshments, set-up crew, clean-up crew, security, cashiers, baggers, persons to run the refreshment stand, etc. $10,000-$12,000 is typically earned, with the majority of the proceeds going to our Outreach programs. This is also an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow parishioners.

CASSEROLE MINISTRY

Casseroles are made and delivered to members of the parish and their families facing a family emergency. (Contact the Director of Lay Ministries.)

EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES (ECS) Food Pantry

A food ingathering is held the first Sunday of each month. The grocery items are taken to the ECS food pantry for distribution to low income families who may otherwise go hungry in order to pay rent and/or utility bills. Brown paper bags are available for your donation of staple goods. Money is also greatly appreciated.
