A&HT has a strong tradition of active participation in outreach ministries and projects. We continue this tradition by providing financial and organizational support and by enabling members of our church family to experience the joy of serving those in need.

Here is an outline of our current focus.

We support A&HT parishioners who are active in the following local ministries…

 

Valley Interfaith Food & Clothing Center (“VIFCC”) (Contact – OPEN)

This ministry in Lockland provides food and clothing to needy families in the Mill Creek Valley.  Each year, parishioners provide Christmas gifts of clothing for children selected through VIFCC’s Christmas Gift Program.

Lincoln Heights Health Center Literacy Program (Top Borden 771-7553)

Based in Lincoln Heights, very near to Wyoming, this ministry provides adults and older youth an opportunity to read to young children in the health center’s waiting room.  The Lincoln Heights Health Center meets the health and dental care needs of low income families in the northern metro area.
