St. Paul's Outreach

We  live out our Christian faith by seeking and serving the Christ in ourselves and in others. St. Paul’s provides a variety of opportunities to do so, with Outreach ministries in the local Natick community, Greater Boston, and beyond. We come together to share our time, talent and financial resources. The Outreach budget is supported through the annual Christmas Fair and other fundraisers throughout the year.

Natick Service Council

The Natick Service Council provides information, referrals and assistance to Natick residents facing financial crises or hardship, including heat and utilities assistance, eviction prevention, holiday food and Mission Sunday: Helping move 900 bags of food for the Natick Food Pantry relocation.gift baskets, and donations through the Natick Food Pantry. In addition to providing financial support, St. Paul’s participates in drives for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.  Parishioners can also contribute to the Natick Food Pantry throughout the year by dropping off donations at the narthex (church entry) before Sunday services.

Interfaith Hospitality Network

St. Paul’s is a founding member of the Metrowest Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), a group of churches that provide lodging, food, companionship, and transition assistance to homeless families with children. The program provides short-term assistance to help families return to permanent residence and independence. Over 50 St. Paul’s volunteers work together to host three to five homeless families (up to 14 people) in the church for one week, three to four times a year. We serve dinner and breakfast, provide fellowship and a place to sleep.
