An Annual Week of Volunteering
Compassion Week is a week long effort each year to build a stronger, inclusive and more empathetic community by volunteering alongside our neighbors.
Our parish partners with other area churches and the Los Altos Community Foundation in this effort. The need in our community is great, but so is our combined ability to help. Together we can make a difference!
Everyone is Welcome!
You can have fun while helping those in need from the comfort and safety of your own home. There are a variety of projects, tailored to any age and ability, available to you, your family, friends, and even co-workers.
Forge connections of hope and joy and have fun while learning and supporting those in need.
