Serving Opportunities
We believe in the importance of showing Christ’s love through service, providing volunteer assistance and financial support both locally and globally.
Kidz Kupboard
Our Kidz Kupboard ministry provides healthy weekend meals to local students at Pinchbeck Elementary, Pemberton Elementary, and Wilder Middle Schools who would otherwise go without. Fundraising events like our fall and spring Consignment Sales add to funds from our church members and other generous supporters. Our volunteers facilitate weekly shopping, assembly, and anonymous delivery of food to identified children throughout the school year.
Henrico Schools Partnerships
We are proud to collaborate with the Office of Family and Community Engagement at Henrico County Public Schools to support education in our community. Recently, we supported back-to-school efforts at John Rolfe Middle School and Pinchbeck Elementary School.
Rise Against Hunger
Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief organization that distributes food aid to the world’s most vulnerable. We have funded and held multiple inter-generational meal packing events, raising awareness and enabling our community to band together to make a dent in this global challenge.
Ride Match
The Ride Match ministry was developed by members of Saint Andrew’s who had a desire to share the love of Christ by using their time and skills to provide practical assistance to members of the congregation and surrounding community residents. Services provided include transportation to church and medical and other appointments. Services are limited by location and the availability and ability of volunteer(s) to fulfill the request. If you need assistance, please call us at (804) 270-2869 ext. 5 to inquire.
Welborne Food Pantry
Welborne Food Pantry, a ministry of Welborne United Methodist Church in Henrico, serves local residents in need by providing food to families at risk. In addition to our weekly collection and delivery of food and other items, we designate one month each year to collect donations for Welborne Food Pantry through our Cup of Cold Water ministry. Several of our members volunteer regularly. Learn about Welborne Food Pantry volunteer opportunities. Follow weekly updates on Facebook.
Cup of Cold Water
At every worship service, we collect donations for the Cup of Cold Water offering. All proceeds are donated to the Ministry of the Month, which includes many of our ministry partners, as well as other Christian outreach organizations like Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child, and Rise Against Hunger.
Heart Havens
Heart Havens is a Richmond-based non-profit organization that provides residential support to adults with developmental disabilities. Heart Havens seeks to empower their clients to pursue their hopes and passions, encouraging and equipping developmentally-disabled individuals to make their goals and dreams a reality. We have supported the Heart Havens ministry through volunteer labor and financial donations. We also host Heart Havens residents at the beginning of each year for a Sunday worship service and lunch.
Shalom Farms
The mission of Shalom Farms is to work with communities to ensure access to healthy food and the support to live healthy lives. Through sustainable food production and hands-on experiences at the farm and in the city, Shalom Farms provides thousands in Richmond with access to healthy food…and healthy lives. Saint Andrew’s partners with Shalom Farms through service workdays in which we provide hands-on work on the farm, as well as Cup of Cold Water donations throughout the year.
