Faith in action - serving our neighbors near and far

Our Commitment to Service

Putting love into action through community support

At Wolfe Island Pastoral Charge, we believe that faith without action is incomplete. We are called not only to worship together but to actively serve those in need, working for justice, compassion, and human dignity in our community and beyond. Our outreach programs reflect our commitment to being the hands and feet of Christ in a world that desperately needs love, support, and hope.

Through partnerships with local organizations and the generous support of our congregation, we are making a real difference in the lives of individuals and families facing hardship. Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every act of kindness contributes to building a more compassionate and just community.

Our Outreach Programs

Food Bank Support

We regularly collect and donate non-perishable food items, personal care products, and household essentials to local food banks serving Wolfe Island and the greater Kingston area. Food insecurity affects many families, and our contributions help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.

How to help: Bring donations to Sunday services or contact us to arrange drop-off.

Homeless Shelter Donations

We support homeless shelters in Kingston with financial contributions, clothing, hygiene products, and bedding. Homelessness is a complex challenge, and we're committed to partnering with organizations that provide shelter, meals, and pathways to stable housing for those experiencing homelessness.

Items needed: Warm clothing, blankets, toiletries, socks, and monetary donations.

Community Support

We respond to specific needs in our local community by providing meals for families in crisis, financial assistance for those facing emergencies, transportation help for medical appointments, and practical support for neighbors experiencing difficult times.

Need help? We serve with confidentiality and compassion. Contact us to discuss how we can assist.

Seasonal Campaigns

Throughout the year, we organize special campaigns including Christmas hampers for families in need, back-to-school supply drives, winter clothing collections, and Easter food baskets. These seasonal efforts bring joy and practical support to those who need it most.

Stay involved: Watch for announcements about upcoming campaigns.
