Hot Meals for the Homeless/Grassroots
Who do we serve?
How can I get involved?
The homeless and poor in Howard County.
What do we do?
Parishioners help Howard County residents who suffer from hunger or homelessness in several ways:
​
-
Hot meals: prepare (at home), deliver, and/or serve or clean up from a hot lunch at the Day Resource Center (18 and older only for on-site duties).
-
Cold Weather Shelter: volunteer to support St. Paul Church in Ellicott City, which hosts an overnight shelter during the first full week of January.
-
Poor boxes: donate to a poor box to assist Grassroots with the Cold Weather Shelter (early January) and emergency housing assistance (each quarter).
-
Urgent supply needs: respond to urgent supply needs through the "How can I help?" sign-up program.
