LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR
Samaritan Outreach puts faith into action by serving the neighboring community as the hands, heart and feet of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to learn about, serve and give to our marginalized neighbors facing food insecurity, homelessness, migrant challenges, and senior concerns.
St. Tim's partners with these local organizations to care for our neighbors. If you would like to learn more or be added to a ministry email list, contact Outreach and you will be put in touch with the member liaison.
