The Outreach Committee is a group of members of our congregation who work to identify and help those groups outside St. Michael’s who may need our help.

St. Michael’s has regular outreach projects and the committee meets every other month (or more if necessary) to evaluate and plan projects for its outreach funds.

These outreach projects include:

Crop Walk – A national event to raise awareness and funds for people battling hunger, not only around the world but also in the local area;

• O’Fallon Community Food Pantry – Collect on a weekly basis, donations of food items and monetary contribution for the needy residents in the O’Fallon and Shiloh areas through the local food pantry. Periodically, there are major Food Drives in the event that the Food Pantry is low on items and members volunteer in the Pantry on a weekly basis;

• Thanksgiving Baskets – The collection and distribution of food items and turkeys for several needy families in the local area for Thanksgiving;

• The Beacon of Belleville – Assist in the social services ministry of this agency.

• The Christmas Angel Tree – A collection of gifts for women and children in special program at the Violence Prevention Center of Southwestern Illinois in Belleville at Christmas;

• Assist Flood victims, War refugees, families in the area and more.
