We are a giving church and find many ways to support our community and others in the world. As a parish, we commit 10% of our pledged income to helping organizations outside our congregation. If you have a suggestion for an outreach program, or know of a need, please contact the church. If you would like to assist with one of our outreach ministries, we would welcome your time and talents.
Outreach Opportunities
Olympic View Elementary School (OVE) 2022-2023
When asked how best St. Stephen’s might help our neighborhood school, OVE responded that they often have children in need of pants and shoes. Children who soil themselves, get wet going and coming to school, or get wet on the playground don't always have family members who can come with dry clothing or shoes. The office then scrambles to come up with suitable items for the remainder of the school day. Families are asked to return the borrowed clothing but that often doesn't happen.
Please bring items in as you are able and drop them off at the church office during open hours. You may also leave them with Suzanne or Paul on Sunday after services.
OVE is in need of the following throughout the school year.
sweats and/or leggings
kid sizes 5-12 (small to large)
shoes (unisex, please)
little kids’ sizes: 10, 12, 13
big kids’ sizes: 1-7
This program will continue through June and then resume in the fall when students return to school.
