Throughout the year
Christ Church is able to meet some day-to-day needs by providing Hannaford Food cards to help people who come to the door or call the church looking for help. Guests can receive help once every four months.
May: Mother’s Day Walk for Peace
In collaboration with our diocesan B-PEACE work, we have walked in support of the Louis Brown Peace Institute’s work. Louis Brown Peace Institute partners with the Harvard School of Public Health in their Peace Zone Curriculum for middle and high school youth. They hold the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace as an annual fundraiser to support survivors of violence and their ongoing peace education. In our diocese, along with support of the walk, the other aspects of the B-PEACE program are summer jobs for youth and anti-gun work.
November: Thanksgiving baskets
These food baskets are delivered to families in need via several local schools. Parishioners donate more than 25 full Thanksgiving dinners with a gift card for a turkey and other typical Thanksgiving food.
