Help us discern ways to help our community
Nate, Zach and Colin Borgstrom volunteer at the Firewood Initiative woodlot in 2018.
A committee at Saint James’ is exploring four areas in which our church might be able to help people in our community:
Food preparation and delivery — meals for places like Rip Van Winkle Motel, Moffett Manor, the shelter, etc.
Transportation and companionship — helping seniors or the disabled get around, visiting them, and offering companionship or guidance around things like scams or tech support.
Advocacy around access in Warrenton — for example, conducting a Complete Streets assessment.
Project-based work — assisting older adults with trash collection, yardwork, ramps, and similar efforts.
We already do quite a bit (volunteers for the Firewood Initiative, meals for the Fauquier Free Clinic, etc.), but we’d like to know if there’s capacity and enthusiasm for expanding into any of these areas.
