Outreach Committee

Mandate

The role of the Outreach Committee is to reach out not just to members of the congregation but also to the wider communities in need in a loving and compassionate way.

Volunteer Activities

At present we have volunteers serving in different capacities feeding the homeless citizens in Calgary through:

• Calgary Interfaith Food Bank in the Parish Hall four days per week Tuesday through Friday.
• Inn From the Cold, we currently host four "Inns" per year at St. Stephen's Anglican Church.
• Feeding The Hungry at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

Open Cathedral is another important part of Outreach as we welcome visitors to come and tour our building each weekday from 11:30am - 1:30pm.

The Primates' World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF).

This is the Canadian Anglican agency for development, relief, refugees, and justice, with the support of Anglican parishes across Canada. PWDRF makes financial and human resources available to support our partners' initiatives at home and around the world. For more information visit the PWDRF website at http://www.pwrdf.org.

Future projects:

• KAIROS - Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives - in support of their work with Aboriginal and Indigenous peoples.
• Providing assistance and support for Day Break, a new low-income housing project planned for Inglewood.
