last sunday offering
At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be made through our Giving Online page or sent directly to the office. Donations are matched by anonymous donors.
August 2026 Recipient: St. Vincent's Center for Children with Disabilities in Haiti
Amid the gang-ravaged capital city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, St. Vincent’s Center for Children with Disabilities offers an 8.6-acre safe haven to its students. St. Vincent’s, our August Last Sunday Outreach Offering recipient, serves 200 children who are deaf, blind or in wheelchairs, and who come to be educated, cared for by orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, and fed thrice daily (100,000 meals annually!).
Our $20,000 offering goal will be used for food and water: basic needs everywhere in the world.
St. Vincent’s funds a Medical Center, Brace Shop and School on $550,000 a year. Of that total amount, $50,000 is allocated to food. Meals are simple, but nutritious. They feed 110 staff, 200
students and many family members who now walk their children to class and remain safely for the day.
The water we will provide comes in the form of additional piping for a new well. Drilling the well, installing the solar pump, and constructing the tower for the tank have already been funded, but the project will not begin until the money has been raised for the piping. The piping will enable major expansion of the vegetable garden, thereby enhancing both variety and additional nutrition in the daily diet. Water from the new piping will also reach the recently constructed campus Medical Clinic, erected in 2024 when gangs destroyed the original clinic in downtown Port-au-Prince. This new source of water represents a major objective of the infrastructure plan.
St. Andrew’s has been a steadfast partner in St. Vincent’s life. Three parishioners serve on the Board of Trustees: Elizabeth Lowell, Mike Quinn and Nancy Rollins. Parishioners’ generous donations affirms their service and ours as a church community.
