Local Outreach
We believe in loving and caring for our neighbors.
At St. Martin’s, we are convinced that the best days are those spent in service to others. We regularly support events and ministries like…
Feeding the hungry through the Community Table and Stanly Community Christian Ministries, regular food collections by the congregation.
Community Table: a local soup kitchen that relies on volunteers to provide a lunchtime meal for those who are in need. Our congregation prepares and serves meals at the Community Table several times a year. Many volunteers are needed to plan and prepare the meal, serve the meal and cleanup afterwards. This is a rewarding opportunity to feed those in need.
Little Red Wagon: Our congregation has the opportunity each month to help support SCCM Food Pantry. On the 3rd Sunday of each month, the church children pull a little red wagon down the aisle to collect the items form the congregation that SCCM has requested for that month. Monetary donations are also accepted at the time. The children enjoy this opportunity to participate in helping needy families in the community.
Providing hope at Christmas through the Angel Tree.
Angel Tree: An angel Tree is posted on the bulletin board in the hall across from the Efird Parlor at the church in early December. Although we have sponsored families in years past, last year we sponsored 4 senior citizens in need. Christmas gift wishes from the seniors, written on slips of paper, are each attached to an angel. Members are asked to take a slip of paper from the tree, then initial the gift on a list near the bulletin board. After purchasing the gift, members bring the wrapped gift to church and place them under the tree by the requested date. The gifts are then delivered to the designated agency that provided the names of the senior citizens in need.
Providing food (Second Harvest Food Bank) for those in need.
Second Harvest Food Bank: This mobile food pantry truck sponsorship is an important outreach opportunity that allows us to help upwards of 200 families in our community with groceries to feed their families. Our congregation often collaborates with Pine Grove Methodist Church to either sponsor or help with the food distribution. Volunteers arrive early to help set up tables, unload the truck, separate the different grocery items, distribute the food and cleanup the empty cardboard boxes and tables. This is a wonderful opportunity for our members to directly assist those in need.
