Teams of volunteers provide and serve meals at St. Mark's Center for Community Renewal in neighboring Keansburg. This center provides over 3,500 meals monthly.  Additionally the pantry serves approximately 4,000 individuals each year.  Over 350 families utilize one or more services provided by this Community Center. 

We provide, from generous parishioner donations, over 50 FULL Thanksgiving turkey dinners. Christ Church volunteers and donors sort and transport the full dinners to those at St. Mark's Center for Community Renewal. At Christmas time, we collect new toys, stuffed animals and winter clothing for those in need. At various times during the year, Christ Church conducts food and personal care product drives.

Christ Church Knitters/Crocheters have created and continue to create beautiful prayer shawls and lap blankets that are given out to those in need of comfort, healing and support. These lovingly and prayerfully crafted pieces are incredibly soft and yet machine washable. The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the first and third Friday of each month at 10:00 a.m.. in the church Library. If you are unable to meet in person, you can work on your project at home and arrangements can be made for pick-up or drop-off of the finalized piece. Beginners are welcome! Even if you have never knitted or crocheted before, if you would like to learn, there are some very easy patterns to get you started. Also, our group is always willing to provide support if you have question or need assistance. Please reach out to Judy Kelso (jkelso680@gmail.com) if you would like to join this ministry or know someone who would enjoy a prayer shawl.

Christ Church's youth group, along with other parishioners annually participate in Red Bank's CROP Walk to bring awareness to the issues of poverty and hunger, and helps raise money and food to bring to those who need it most. Each year since 2000, the CROP Walk raises over $100,000 towards hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. 

Our volunteers provide lunches and snacks for ASLAN Youth Ministries Day Camp, an organization specific for at risk youth. Monetary donations from our parish are also collected and given to this organization to assist with operational costs. 

The Outreach Committee organizes quarterly coffee sales to the benefit of those in need. The coffee is custom ground and fresh-roasted by our favorite local company, Jersey Shore Coffee Roasters. Order forms will be available for several weeks for your pre-paid orders. Check the weekly announcements for the date of our next Outreach Coffee Sale.  

We generously donate to the Episcopal Relief & Development Fund, which assists to rebuild after disasters and empower people to create lasting solutions to combat poverty, hunger and disease. Their programs help impact the lives of approximately 3 million people around the world.
