For a small congregation, St Paul’s maintains a very ambitious program of social outreach into the community. These offer a wealth of opportunities for interested parishioners to get involved. Below are some of the most important. North County Community Services Our primary outreach arm, NCCS offers advice and financial assistance to those in need, particularly in making rental and utility payments. It also manages several low-income and transitional housing units in Healdsburg, including Victory Apartments next door to the church. The men’s room of our Parish Hall converts at night into the Spare Room, offering emergency accommodation to those in special need. This room also has a shower that is available for use during part of most days. Contact Person: Yvonne Milligan or telephone 707-433-6161. Healdsburg Shared Ministries This is the consortium of Healdsburg churches offering help to the community. St Paul’s participates actively by provided the location for the weekly Sunday Dinner program at 4:00, open to all comers. The preparation and serving of this meal is handled by the participating churches by rotation. These groups also use church facilities: Council on Aging Three days a week, the Council on Aging hosts activities, music and a meal for seniors and their special friends in our Parish Hall. 12-Step and Self-Help Groups
