Allentown collaborative ministries
comprised of nearly a dozen Allentown congregations, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Union, Episcopal, UCC, etc., the Allentown Collaborative Ministries is a multi-denominational organization that service the Allentown, Pennsylvania community through community worship, outreach, and mission.
A Safe and secure place of welcome for our unhoused neighbors to refresh, restore, and settle on Sunday morning.
Neighborhood House (Sunday mornings) fills a current unhoused community need on Sunday mornings by providing breakfast and lunch and a safe place to get out of the cold or heat, in a location central to other outreach support for the unhoused community in Allentown, PA, November - April.
Volunteers know as “Hosts” are need to: supply, prepare, and share gifts of a hot meal for breakfast and a bag lunch, and connect with Allentown, PA’s unhoused community. Our goal is to serve the unhoused and build community among Allentown, PA congregations, other community groups, and individuals.
On Fridays, a version of Neighborhood House is offered at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, S. 7th Street. This program also fills a time when services in the community are otherwise unavailable. Hosts share snacks, conversation, and play games.
The work of Neighborhood House is overseen by a coordinator and dedicated volunteers from each of our participating congregations. If you’d like to sign up, contact the Christ Church office, or, if you are affiliated with a congregation, ask you church staff if they are involved!
