NEW LIFE – God calls us to BE faithful signs of Christ’s resurrection bringing life and love to all people. Your generous giving helps to bring hope to those who struggle to meet their daily needs.
Many people in our university community and beyond need our material support; some just need to find meaningful and stable employment. If you are aware of any employment opportunities or if you are in a position to donate, please consider directing funds to the Campus Ministry Social Action Fund (click on designation dropdown menu and select "Social Action") which is helping to provide food and other supports to those who need your help. Also consider donating food items directly to the King’s Cupboard food pantry.
As always, we are grateful for your donations to support the work of Campus Ministry. To make a tax-deductible donation, please visit our donation page or contact Lisa Caeiro.
