Community Outreach

Members of the Religious Society of Friends believe in “that of God in everyone.” As a result, community outreach is a natural part of our spiritual life. At Menallen Monthly Meeting, we are committed to assisting immigrants and Persons of Color in our local community, tutoring English as a Second Language and participating in John’s Meals. In addition, individual members are active in hunger and homelessness concerns locally and nationally, college access for under-served students, and peace and justice issues in our community and beyond.
John's Meals; A Community Effort
|
Members of local churches and other community groups meet weekly at the Community Room of Zion United Church of Christ Community Room in Arendtsville to fill backpacks with non-perishable food items. The food is sent home with elementary students from two schools in Upper Adams School District for weekend snacks, and is part of the John's Meals program.
