Outreach And Social Justice Ministries

Crossroads Meal Program provides a meal to low-income people living in the Crossroads Mall area on the first Thursday of every month. Volunteers help prepare the food in the Social hall kitchen and then deliver and serve the meal at the Salvation Army location in Bellevue. Meal preparation begins at 3:30 and the evening ends by 7:30. Homemade cookies are also needed to serve with the meal. Contact Wes and Julia Proudlove at jproudlove@cpahsa.com.

Prepares is a project of all the bishops in the State of Washington. This initiative walks the journey with pregnant and parenting women, men, and families who find themselves lacking a healthy support network. The Prepares network provides meaningful support to vulnerable Washington families as they nurture their children through pregnancy and up to age 5. The goal of the bishops is to have a Prepares group in EVERY parish. Want to help? Contact Pam at bobpamgunderson@gmail.com.

Rosary Makers gather on the last Wednesday of the month to make rosaries for missions, prisons, soldiers and anyone else who needs them.  All supplies are provided, and no experience is necessary. For more information, contact Andrea Liggett, andrea@hfkparish.org, (425) 822-0295, ext. 110

Sack Lunch Program Each week a team of parishioners provides 90 sack lunches to a women’s shelter in Seattle.  If you would like to help by providing sandwiches or other items needed for the lunches, please contact Jane at tr.vimont@frontier.com.   We are also in need of large Costco boxes to transport the sandwiches each week.

Shared Blessings Meals Ministry looks for volunteers willing to cook for parishioners in need (i.e. new baby, illness, death in the family, etc.). Volunteers receive an email when someone is requesting meals and can sign up for a date to cook and deliver a meal. There are no meetings to attend or long-term commitments to make. Just send email to Christina Jones at joneschristinamarie@yahoo.com.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads participants to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person outreach to those who are needy and suffering. Volunteers are needed to go on home visits to meet the people in need in their homes.  Volunteers always go in two’s as Jesus sent his disciples.  Contact Gina Casanova, ginacasanova57@gmail.com or Andrea Liggett, andrea@hfkparish.org.
