LOCAL OUTREACH

St. John's Church uses its human and financial resources to support local outreach organizations including Martha's Table, BRAWS, Homestretch, Share of McLean, Second Story, and Habitat for Humanity.

Due to the weather on January 15, 2024 we had to reschedule! Thank you to all who came out instead on the evening of January 17 to make casseroles for our mission partners, Second Story and Homestretch! Delicious love for our neighbors in need.

Drive of the Month
Month-long drives to collect needed items for local social service groups are a long tradition at St. John’s. Recipient groups are identified by the Missions Committee or suggested by parishioners. Items collected might be school supplies for needy students; clothing and toiletries for our youth to take on their annual NYC mission trip; cellphones to help victims of abuse; Christmas stockings for the Salvation Army. These drives are a way for parishioners to share gifts in kind with those who can benefit from extra support. Learn more.

Sandwich Sunday

On the fourth Sunday of the month, following each service, all hands, large and small are welcome to join us in Shears Hall to assemble sandwiches for Martha's Table . Join in the fellowship of making over 700 sandwiches in a very short time. Want to help set up? Join us in Shears Hall after the 8:00 am service.


Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is supported by volunteers and by periodic donations to special offerings, at St. John’s Church as part of the McLean Interfaith Coalition. Volunteers assist in building or renovating homes and apartments with supervision by qualified Habitat for Humanity leaders. Volunteers must be at least sixteen years old.
