The services are provided to all, regardless of race, religion (or lack thereof), gender or national origin.

The PBJ Outreach is an ecumenical group of people volunteering
their time and services. We come from variety of diverse backgrounds
and ages from many organizations and communities

us to fulfill their school's Community/Christian Service requirement.
After completing their required service, many have continued
to volunteer on a regular basis. All are welcome without
special training needed. We are "Kids Friendly" (+7).
Individuals and families are invited to come any Saturday (52

St.
Ignatius' Prayer for Generosity |
|
Lord, teach us to be generous,
Teach us to serve You as You deserve,
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
that we are doing Your will.
|
|
| Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers
and sisters of mine, you did for me. |
|
| The Lord says: The kind of fast that pleases me is sharing your
food with hungry and sheltering the poor and homeless. Do this and
I will listen to your prayers; when you call on me I will say: I
am here. |
