Local Mission Opportunities
Food Pantry
Harvard Community Food Pantry operates weekly on Tuesdays. St. Paul is assigned one day a month where volunteers are asked to help. Ongoing donations for the food pantry may be placed in the shopping cart located in the foyer on the main level of the church.
Harvard Christmas Giving Tree
St Paul is a member of community churches working together to spread Christmas goodwill among economically disadvantaged families in Harvard annually during November and December. St Paul sponsors several families by providing Christmas gifts of clothing for the children of identified families.
Quilters
Interested individuals gather in a corner lower level classroom on the first and third Mondays of the month to make quilts. Annually, the quilts are sent to Lutheran World Relief to be distributed throughout the world.
St Paul Little Free Library
St Paul sponsors the Little Free Library located by the entrance of the Community Health Partnership at 62 N Ayer Street in Harvard, IL. Donations of new or gently used books are happily accepted. Volunteers make bookmarks and rotate book inventory regularly.
