The vision of USC Outreach Ministry is to become a locally recognized community team that can serve the community-at-large in some capacity.
Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month at 12:30 p.m. in the Spirit Room.
Possible outreach program ideas range from services for nursing homes and schools to food provision, emotional & mental health support, partnerships with community agencies, seasonal events, free car washes, family movie nights, financial counseling, and prison pen pals.
Come join this team, share your ideas, and help the community outreach team achieve its vision.
For more information, please contact Team Lead Corinne Patel at corinnepatel@netzero.net.
If you are responding to a donation request, please place your items on the metal rack in front of the Concierge Desk in the Unity Hall foyer.
Thank You.
