“When was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And Jesus will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25: 35-40

We value our active outreach ministry. We believe that God calls us to bless others with that which God has blessed us. Our location in the heart of Newport offers ample opportunity to do so within our own community and beyond. Compassion for our neighbors is an Emmanuel tradition.

Newport may have a reputation as a wealthy and cosmopolitan resort city, but it also suffers from one of the highest poverty rates in Rhode Island. We thus have a history of starting outreach programs to those in need.

You can help us continue this ministry by participating in one of the following Outreach Missions:

Soup’s On – 1^st Tuesday of every month – 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm - Sign up to help feed the homeless and the hungry in Newport.

Neighborhood Breakfast – 1^st Saturday of every month – 8:30 am to 9:30 am - Sign up to serve a free breakfast to the neighborhood.

Episcopal Charities Annual Fund Drive – Make a donation to support this funding agency for social programs within the Rhode Island Community.
