OUTREACH MINISTRY IS A CORNERSTONE OF
ST. MARGARET'S
Current ways YOU can help US help OUR community...

We support the Action In the Community Through Service (ACTS) Hunger Prevention Center in Dumfries.
As always, we are thankful for your generous and compassionate hearts!
Afghan Ally Family
Update: September 2022
For almost a year St. Margaret’s Episcopal has partnered with St. John’s Episcopal (Georgetown in Washington DC) to help establish the family who came to the US from Afghanistan. The family is now living in the area. They have jobs, driver's licenses, an apartment, are taking English classes, and recently obtained a car. They are well into the process of establishing their immigrations status with immigration lawyers. A continuing concern for them is family back in Afghanistan: The consensus is that they are OKAY, physically, but the terror and the uncertainty are mentally exhausting and challenging. Let us continue to pray for those here and their families still in Afghanistan. Thank you for your support.
The Outreach Committee
Hilda Barg Homeless Prevention Center
Share the love of Christ by providing meals and fellowship to those in need at this family emergency shelter. Throughout the year we prepare, serve, and share meals with the Hilda Barg residents. Those who participate find this time extremely rewarding.
We'd be happy to talk with you about volunteering. Please contact Gregg and Jean Reynolds, or Ranelle Nadeau.
Bill Mehr Drop-in-Center
Bill, who the center is named after, was a long-time member of St. Margaret's and was passionate about helping the homeless.

Untrim a Tree
The Un-Trim-A-Tree Holiday Gift Program is a very special program that serves children and seniors in need. We partner with Volunteer Prince William to bring a brighter holiday season to local children of the community. Each year this holiday program provides gifts to thousands of our neighbors here in the greater Prince William community. Last year we supported 40 children (total of 80 gifts), and we also prepared gift baskets with items for the homebound seniors in our community. A list of suggested items for the seniors, and gift tags for the children will be available beginning mid-November in the parish hall. All gifts are due back by early December. See or contact Tara Hoban.
