Serving the community and world beyond our doors
Our weekly meal and grocery program has fought food insecurity for over 40 years. About 350 guests get healthy meals and pantry items every Saturday morning. We frequently hand out clothing too.
Our diverse team makes it happen – Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, humanitarians – If you like to serve, this is the place.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Friday sandwich prep – 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Saturday prep & distribution – 8:00 – 11:30 am

Help St. Michael’s expand its reach to our community.
The time is now. Your support is needed!
This band of heroes collects donated food from Whole Foods on Columbus Avenue each Friday. They sally forth at 10:00 pm and and bring their haul to the church. Helping hands are welcome. Each “maraud” is over fairly quickly. And if you have a set of wheels, even better!
Homework Help provides free “kitchen table” help for grades 1-8. Tutorials take place in person or online on Mondays at 6:00 pm from October through May. We match students with consistent volunteers to encourage strong relationships. The pairs work together for an hour each week, primarily on school homework assignments.
Additional volunteers are always needed:
• People willing to commit an hour each week to a student
• Substitutes who can help once or twice a month
• Administrators to help run the program
Every Saturday at 10:00 am, tutors provide one-on-one help for conversational practice and reading to individuals who speak English as a Second Language (ESL).

Despite bombings, bullets, and brutality, a heroic staff continues to serve the injured, sick, and desperate people of Gaza. This is an institution of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem which St Michael’s actively supports via the American Friends of the EDJ.
We are a diverse community seeking to offer God’s boundless hospitality to all who enter our doors. Wherever you come from, whatever your age, whomever you love, however you believe, you are always welcome here. At St. Michael’s LGBTQ+ persons are welcome to full participation in our faith community, including the rites of ordination and marriage.
To witness—through worship, ministries and community activities—to the spirit, teachings and love of Christ; to offer strength and love to each other; and to reach out and draw others into our diverse parish family.
