Community Outreach, Giving, & Service Opportunities

There are a number of events and ministry opportunities throughout the year for us to reach out and serve our community.

• The Barbara Macholz Grimaldi Legacy Fund - granting support to ministries and organizations in our community (more details can be found under our 'Giving' menu under 'BMGLF & Golf Tournament').​
• RIT Lutheran Campus Ministry- Lutheran and Episcopal ministries work together to provide worship services, fellowship, and free meals on Sunday evenings for RIT students at The Table.  Atonement, and other Lutheran and Episcopal churches nearby, help to supply and serve the meals.
• Our Donation & Recycling Center - we collect year 'round for everyday items, and hold seasonal collections as well, to support local area needs.

Caring for our Community and our World

We collect food, recyclables, hygiene items, and other items such as clothing, or baby supplies (to name just a few) that benefit our own ministries, local area communities and charities, regional needs, and worldwide concerns.
