In addition to the outreach grant program, All Saints and the Outreach Committee provide support to numerous local organizations and causes. Listed below are some of the projects the church regularly supports.
The Friendship Center is an independent nonprofit providing day services for aging and dependent adults afflicted with diseases related to aging. It was founded in 1976 at the Friendship Baptist Church. In 1979, the Friendship Center outgrew its first space and All Saints offered its facilities for a dollar-a-year rent, becoming one of All Saints’ Outreach ministries. The Friendship Center and the Parish School provide inter-generational programs on campus, facilitating activities in which children and seniors interact with one another. These exchanges are enlivening for the older participants and the children, creating an atmosphere of warmth, encouragement, and reciprocity. Click Here to learn more about The Friendship Center.
Transition HouseTransition House has provided aid to local homeless families by offering shelter for those in immediate need and by teaching the life-skills necessary to step out of the downward spiral of poverty, become self-sufficient and return to permanent housing. In addition to the Three-Stage Housing Program, its Homelessness Prevention Program gives financial aid and intensive case management to families in imminent danger of losing their existing housing. All Saints parishioners purchase and serve dinner one Sunday per month.
At Christmas time, the Giving Tree encourages parishioners to make donations to help meet specific needs of the less fortunate. A Christmas tree with cards bearing requests is placed on the Church patio on the first Sunday of December. Parishioners pick the request they want to fulfill and return it with the donation to the Church Office. This project has grown into a well-loved tradition that brings Christmas joy to children and adults who might otherwise be overlooked.
Once a month, All Saints volunteers of all ages help distribute free food to dozens of families in need at the Carpinteria’s Children’s Project. Parents, children, relatives, and friends from All Saints partner with Caprinteria community volunteers to provide both food bank staples as well as fresh produce to families who struggle with food insecurity. This inter-generational outreach activity can be counted for school community service hours and is an excellent way to get involved and to help our neighbors.
