Serving through St. Paul's

As members of the Body of Christ, we are called to share his love with the world in real and tangible ways. Our members are very active in the shared ministries of our town, as well as in the ministries of our parish. Seasonal efforts, such as the Connecticut Diaper Bank Diaper Drive and the September School Supply Drive, will be posted while these events are taking place.

We work in conjunction with IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, New Haven) to co-sponsor refugee families for local resettlement.

Woodbury Food Bank

The Community Services Council of Woodbury supports the Woodbury Food Bank, which provides weekly access for all authorized clients to shop for staple goods. This program serves both to support proper nutrition and to enable client families to conserve scarce financial resources for other household necessities. The Community Services Council also provides limited emergency support on a case by case basis. St. Paul's is proud to be an active part of the CSC, providing volunteer teams for the months of January and August. We are also a drop-off location for shelf-stable food items. 

To learn more about volunteering or becoming a client, contact CSC.

Little Free Pantry

St. Paul’s hosts a Little Free Pantry, part of the growing little free pantry project. Our pantry is designed to complement the town of Woodbury both visually and communally. The pantry is stocked regularly with shelf-stable goods and is accessible anytime of the day or night. St. Paul’s pantry operates in cooperation with the Woodbury Community Services Council Food Bank - we share donations to make sure everyone can get what they need. For more information please contact Deacon David Rhodes.
