St. John's Outreach Ministries
St. John's Volunteers serve the Niagara Falls community through many different avenues.
Below are just a few of the ways St. John's shares God's love with others.
Grace Pantry
Project SHARE
Grace Pantry is an emergency food bank serving the food insecure in the Niagara region since 2015.
Operated by Niagara Falls Christian Ministries utilizing space at St. Johns and donations from parishioners, the pantry operates by appointment.
Non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and gift cards to No Frills and Food Basics are graciously accepted. Donations may be left in the basket labeled Grace Pantry in the church worship space.
To schedule an appointment or arrange a donation, please call Christine or Darlene at 905-356-5634 or 647-464-3774.
Project SHARE of Niagara Falls provides essential support services that improve the lives of Niagara Falls individuals and families in need.
As a non-profit charitable organization, Project SHARE has been providing emergency food and support services to residents of Niagara Falls for more than 30 years.
The acronym SHARE represents support, housing, awareness, resources and emergency.
Project SHARE helps over 130 families each day.
St. John's supports Project SHARE through donations each Advent season.
Donations of food may be left underneath the Advent Giving Tree in the church worship space. Monetary donations are also accepted. Donations received by November 23rd, 2025 will be matched up to $1000 by a generous St. John's parishioner.

St. John's has volunteers that help at St. George's, St. Catharines breakfast program and we collect jam to donate to the program.
There is an ongoing Prayer Shawl ministry at St. John's. Prayer shawls are available free of charge in a basket at the back of the church worship space.
Each Sunday in December around our Advent Giving Tree, we collect items such as hats, mittens, socks, scarves, hygiene products, and food for donation to community organizations.
Meeting space is used by community organizations such as Niagara on the Lake Pathfinders and Rangers.
Members of St. John's are also involved as volunteers in over 2 dozen community organizations.
All of these outreach programs and organizations are part of the prayers at St. John's.
