Outreach

Hunger Walk

Every year, St. Paul’s participates in the Atlanta Community Food Bank Hunger Walk. St. Paul’s typically has over 100 members who participate in this event. Each walker is encouraged to solicit sponsorship from friends and associates. All proceeds raised from this event are used to support Georgians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity. The Hunger Walk helps six local nonprofit organizations, including the Episcopal Community Foundation.

St. Paul’s is proud to have won the coveted Bishop’s Cup in 2018 when it led the Diocese of Atlanta in fundraising with over $10,000 raised.

Food Ministry

Our mission is to multiply our resources with the St. Paul’s community to increase access to food for those experiencing hunger and food insecurity. The food pantry is dedicated to meeting the needs of over 140 children, seniors and grandparents in the community. Families receive 12 to 19 lbs. of food every other week. The majority of the food is purchased from the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The parish community also provides targeted food donations during various food drives.

Contact Norma Young to volunteer to serve on the Food Ministry.

F.L Stanton Girls Mentoring Program

The St. Paul’s Mentoring Program strives to reach out and teach young fourth and fifth-grade girls about other important young African American girls and boys are making a difference in the world.

Our goal is to expose these girls to different ideas, activities and possibilities about what they can do in life and what they can achieve through fun educational activities. We also expose them to little known famous African Americans, like Katherine Johnson and Shirley Chisholm, but also things like the origins and meaning of Kwanzaa. We also expose the girls to athletic and artistic activities they have never been exposed to things like yoga and ballroom dancing. All of these activities are delivered in a 20-minute span of time right after lunchtime. Still, they look forward to our visits with joy and anticipation.

The girls all look forward to the big event of the year, our annual High Tea, which is the highlight of the program. Our St. Paul’s mentors and the support of our congregation has brought so much joy, excitement and happiness to these girls and because of this, we strive to be better at improving our program every year.
