Supporting Our Community All proceeds directly support Emmanuel's vital community programs led by our Mission and Outreach Committee, which is dedicated to living out Christ's call to love and serve others. Our comprehensive outreach includes:

Bi-monthly dinner program at Bread of Life in Malden, addressing food insecurity in our community
Monthly community dinner at Horizon House on Water Street in Wakefield (held the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 PM during the academic year—free and open to all)
Weekly food drives in partnership with the Wakefield Food Pantry
Support for mental health and addiction recovery through partnerships with organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Horizon House, and Ruth's Way for Women
Immigration compassion initiatives, offering support and advocacy for immigrants and refugees
LGBTQ+ affirmation programs, ensuring all of God's children are welcomed and valued
Disaster response and recovery efforts through partnerships with Episcopal Relief and Development and Project Hope

Through acts of compassion, justice, and service, we strive to follow Christ's example, sharing God's love with those facing hardship, injustice, and need.

Childcare Available We're happy to provide childcare so parents can fully enjoy the evening.
