Volunteer

There are many ways to get involved at the Newman Center, including Service & Justice ministries and Liturgy & Music ministries. While looking through our site, if you find a ministry that calls to you, please don't hesitate to contact the staff liaison or group leader and ask how you can become involved in that ministry!

Christmas Collection for NSI

Neighborhood Services, Inc. (NSI) requests our assistance to help families for Christmas this year. They have already distributed over 500,000 meals this year and the food pantry needs constant re-stocking. Here’s how you can help:
  • Food Donation   Please bring non-perishable food items to help re-stock their pantry. Canned goods and cereal are especially needed. Some suggestions: canned vegetables, canned meat, stuffing, canned or dry fruit, any hot or cold cereal. Please bring your donations to the cart located in the North Gathering Space. Deadline is Sunday, Dec. 9.
  • Adopt a Child   The holidays are the toughest time of year for those living in poverty and your contribution will make a direct impact in helping our neighbors. As an adopter, you will be provided with information about your adopted child (age, parent contact info, etc.) along with the child’s wish list. To sign-up, please contact NSI at info@neighborhoodservicesinc.org or (614) 297-0592.
Thank you for your generosity to this collection!
