Saint Alban’s has many outreach projects grounded in Christ’s love:

1. Our Food Bank.  We do a great job of distributing food to those in need.  Our Food Bank is wonderful and it helps so many in our community.  Many people support our food bank ministry with donations of food and money.  There is a basket in the narthex every week where people can drop off food.  In addition, our Church School children have periodic food drives.
