Adopt-a-School: This is a program by which the school (Sherwood Elementary) and St. Luke’s work together to promote academic achievement and personal growth of students. This program works with the school Guidance counselor to find out the needs of the students. Volunteers are needed to tutor children and to be proctors. Volunteers are also needed to act as liaisons, between the school and the congregation, and to help organize opportunities for the congregation to give supplies and clothing. To volunteer or for more information, contact Melinda Kaler at mtkaler1111@gmail.com
Room in the Inn: During the most dangerous climates of the year, the community comes together. November thru March, St. Luke's has partnered with RITI to provide overnight shelter for small groups of women and children. These shelters are hosted in our gym, offering a warm, safe space for those in need during extreme weather conditions and a hot meal.
