Our Outreach

​St. Andrew’s Outreach Ministries has established relationships with several community organizations. We support these ministry partners in various ways:

  • Providing volunteers and supplies for activities sponsored by St. Andrew’s or the organization

  • Providing volunteers on a continuing basis

  • Collecting donations of products that they need

  • Providing financial support

Contact the office to learn more about Our Outreach activities.

The Neighborhood Academy, a faith-based, college preparatory academy established to provide excellence in education and character development for youth from 6th to 12th grades. Our Parish provides backpacks and school supplies for all students annually (in partnership with other congregations) and gift cards for the graduating seniors. We restock the in-school support pantry quarterly.

East End Cooperative Ministries (EECM) is a faith-based consortium that addresses the problems of poverty within the Pittsburgh community by offering food assistance to those who are experiencing food and housing insecurity and barriers to employment, as well as providing support to young people in dealing with the challenges of poverty. We hold regular food drives and a fall winter coat drive, and hope to return to direct service volunteering in the future.

 

Hello Neighbor is committed to supporting recently resettled refugee and immigrant families from more than 26 countries of origin by providing them with furnished housing, access to basic food and necessities, employment opportunities, school enrollment support, health services, and English language classes. Teams from our Parish have volunteered to set up and furnish apartments and provide household supplies for arriving immigrants.

 

Off The Floor Pittsburgh (now partnered within Light of Life Mission) provides new and gently used furniture and soft goods to individuals and families in housing crisis and transition, including the homeless and fire victims. The Parish conducts an annual donation campaign to collect bed linens, pillows, and related items for distribution to OTF clients. One parishioner has previously served as Chair of the OTF Board.

 

Treasure House Fashions provides new and gently used clothing and accessories to disadvantaged women in crisis to help prepare them for employment or re-employment. Parish women volunteer to serve as shopping helpers for the clients; last year, we joined Treasure House Fashions to help the Afghani women from Hello Neighbor "go shopping."

 

Five Talents International is a faith-based sponsor of microenterprise initiatives in the Global South that partners with local faith communities in some of the world's poorest countries to provide training in adult literacy, savings-led microfinance, business development, and trauma healing. We are renewing our relationship with a women's microenterprise project in Bolivia to provide funding and explore opportunities for direct collaboration.

 

Shepherd's Heart Fellowship Veterans' Ministry  in their ministry of service to veterans experiencing homelessness through housing, support, and recovery groups, notably through our Veterans' Day Drive

 

Episcopal Relief and Development, an international mission of the Episcopal Church, working to save lives and strengthen communities around the world through locally-led organizations to advance lasting change in communities impacted by injustice, poverty, disaster and climate change.

 

The Mustard Seed Babies' Home Project serves as a caring refuge for sixty children, hoping to expand to meet the ongoing orphan crisis in Uganda. The Babies' Home has been recognized as a model for other orphanages in the Region. During the past decade, the Parish has supported two children attending primary school under the auspices of Mustard Seed.

A successful 2013 Capital Campaign resulted in additional reserve funding that is now used to support our Outreach Ministry. In addition to our operating budget, which allots $7,000 for outreach, we have approximately $52,000 in long-term reserves dedicated to our outreach efforts. Donations to various outreach ministries of both financial and in-kind gifts are invited throughout the year.
