Members are expected to attend meetings and to help with all projects. This committee was formed in 1981. The committee meets monthly. The chairperson is appointed by the rector, usually to a three-year term subject to reappointment. A line item called Community Discretionary Giving is apporpriated by this committee.
Requests range from local to international needs.
Often volunteers are needed not only for monetary support but for hands-on projects. For example, the Open Door Shelter is an on-going project which requires people to cook and serve on a monthly basis. Volunteers from the church constructed a home as part of the support for Habitat for Hummanity. This committee recommends to the Vestry the recipients of the church's Christmas and Easter offerings.
