Outreach Summer 2025

Summer of Service

This summer, MCWA members stayed active in the community by supporting two of our Outreach Partners — Pie in the Sky and Alpha-Omega Miracle Home.

We helped pack and deliver fresh produce for local seniors with Pie in the Sky, then joined their team again to volunteer at the Alpha-Omega Thrift Store, organizing and sorting donations to benefit young mothers, children, and senior women.

These efforts truly reflect our mission of Rising Up by Lifting Others — and what a rewarding way to spend the summer! 💙

Blankets for Pie In the Sky Seniors

Our Outreach Committee learned that Pie In The Sky was in need of 50 blankets for their annual holiday bag donation to seniors in the county. We came through to make it possible and because of that we owe a huge thank you to all who organized the effort and to those who donated.

Christmas Gifts for a Family

Christine Matthaei and her family volunteered to shop and wrap gifts for a family of six in need this holiday season. The family's mother was in the hospital for four months awaiting a liver transplant and her health took a turn for the worst and she passed away.

Thank you for all of your generosity in helping to make one family's Christmas a little brighter. Your contributions at the December Luncheon made all of the difference.

Packing Fresh Produce, Break, Milk and Cereal for St. John's Seniors

On Thursday, February 24th and Wednesday, March 2nd, several of our MCWA Ladies met at Pie In the Sky to pack bags of milk and cereal, then fresh produce to go into 15 or so vehicles to be delivered by volunteers to the home of 457 seniors who rely on these food packages.

Our Giving Circle Efforts for Pie In the Sky included accepting $15 donations to purchase shelf stable milk and halo oranges to be included in the packages. In total we collected over $700 from membership and Painting for a Cause.

Volunteers meet every week to pack food and prepare for delivery to 40 routes in St. John’s County.

350+ Bags Donated To The County's Food Pantry

The St. Johns County Food Bank was depleted due to the pandemic, and in four days just before Christmas our members heard the call and organized a successful food drive.

Acknowledging our work, Tracy Dillon, Social Services Manager of St. Johns County Health and Human Services sent this note to one of our members.

“We are extremely grateful for the Marsh Creek Community for their generous donation for our food pantry. As I stated yesterday, we assist over 40 St. Johns County residents [who] apply for food assistance/SNAP benefits thru the Department of Children and Families each month. These individuals are very grateful that we have staples to give them they leave to hold them over. In addition we administer other programs that benefit from our food closet, so this will have a positive impact to your community for months to come.

We are in the process of unpacking 350+ bags of food and are thankful beyond words for the generosity.”

Thank you to our members that donated and opened their homes for the food collection and drop off. A job well done by our Outreach Committee, Marsh Creek HOA Board and Marsh Creek Country Club.

Shoes and Clothing for the Children of the Emergency Services & Homeless Coalition.

At the MCWA August board meeting, the board approved $1,500 for the purchase of shoes for the children at the Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition. The children were happy to have shoes to wear to school. The MCWA Outreach Committee has been providing new shoes to the children of the ESHC for several years.
