Spring 2022 Youth Service Program
Each spring the Youth program at St. Bart's chooses a community outreach organization to support. This year we chose the emergency domestic violence shelter, Through These Doors, located in Portland.

​The response from the congregation was so generous and we filled an incredible amount of their wish list items!  Our congregation donated comforters, bed sheets,  pajamas, coffee maker, coffee press,  packs of diapers, potholders, underwear/bras,  body wash, conditioner,  lotion,  deodorant and  toothpaste.
​

Thank you for keeping the “light” of love and hope and peace shining for those experiencing domestic violence in our community!
