St. Andrew by the Bay
This year, our brothers and sisters at St. John the Evangelist will be hosting and coordinating the annual Winter Relief Shelter at our Parish Center due to a school scheduling conflict at St. John's.
The parishioners of St. John the Evangelist are providing all non-perishable donations and coordinating breakfasts, lunches, and the majority of dinners.
What can you do to help?
Our Parish will be providing TWO of the dinners (12/30/25 and 1/2/26) and ONE of the Lunches (1/4/26).
We need volunteers to bring food items for those meals and assist with preparing/serving.

Many Hosts are needed throughout the week to:
Check in our guests each day, socialize, do "wake up" calls, distribute bagged lunches, and see guests off in the morning. CLICK LINK BELOW TO HOST:
