Mission & Outreach

For generations, Heifer International has provided resources and training for struggling small-scale farmers in order to give them a chance to change their circumstances. But solving hunger and poverty on a global scale requires focus on sound, community-based work aligned with a long-term commitment to achieving self-reliance.

During the Christmas season our church sponsors three local families in need. The Christmas Families Tree hangs in the Narthex at the entrance to the church. Each ornament on the tree lists a specific desired gift. Take an ornament/tag, purchase that gift, place the ornament/tag on top of the wrapped gift, and place it in the designated box in the back of the church, by December 16th.

Founded by a group of caring and committed local people who saw a need and knew they had to do something, The East Hampton Food Pantry opened in 1989. From the basement at the Senior Center to wherever we could serve the hungry were our roots and volunteers who still to this day put their integrity and soul to help others in need.
