Direct Charitable Activities at Holy Family Catholic Church Patchway
When you walk into Holy Family, you’ll notice more than pews and stained glass – you’ll see people rolling up their sleeves to help neighbors. Direct charitable activities are the hands‑on projects that put our faith into real‑world help, from food parcels to youth mentorship.
Every‑day projects that make a difference
Our weekly food drive isn’t just a bucket of cans; it’s a lifeline for families who struggle to put dinner on the table. Volunteers sort donations, pack boxes, and deliver them to local shelters. The process is simple: sign up, show up, and watch the gratitude on the faces of those you serve.
Another staple is the after‑school tutoring club. Parents bring kids who need homework help, and parish volunteers sit at tables, offering subject‑by‑subject guidance. The club runs from 3 pm to 5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the impact shows up in better grades and brighter confidence.
How you can join the action
If you’re wondering where to start, the answer is right at the church’s welcome desk. Pick up the monthly “Community Calendar” – it lists every activity, from the senior companions program to the seasonal clothing swap. Signing up takes a few minutes, and you’ll get a reminder text the day before each event.
Got a skill you want to share? We love teachers, carpenters, and musicians. Offer a workshop, and we’ll help you promote it to the parish and the wider Patchway community. Your expertise becomes a resource that lifts many lives.
For those who can’t commit to a regular slot, one‑off events like the “Christmas Toy Blessing” need hands for wrapping, distribution, and clean‑up. Even a couple of hours on a busy weekend can change a child’s holiday.
Our approach is simple: act locally, think globally. Each small act adds up, creating a ripple that reaches beyond our church walls. When you volunteer, you’re not just ticking a box – you’re building relationships, learning new skills, and sharing the love that our faith teaches.
Ready to get involved? Grab a sign‑up sheet at the parish office, drop an email to [email protected], or simply show up at the next scheduled activity. Direct charitable work is all about showing up, and there’s always a place for you here.
