LOCAL CAUSES

SEGUIN SENIOR MEALS

Contact: Charlene Vardeman – secretary@standrewseguin.org

Seguin Senior Meals provides nutritious meals to the elderly and disabled who are confined to their homes. These meals not only provide much-needed nourishment, but they also provide the homebound with a friendly social visit every day. When you volunteer with Meals on Wheels, you will drive a designated route and deliver meals to 4 or 5 homes. The whole process takes about an hour. St. Andrew’s is the hub for Seguin Senior Meals in Guadalupe County, so pickups and drop-offs happen here in our church office. You can sign up to drive as often as you would like – once a week or once a month.

TEXAS RAMP PROJECT

Contact: outreach@standrewseguin.org

The Texas Ramp Project has five teams in Seguin area that build ramps in Comal, Guadalupe and Caldwell Counties.  The Texas Ramp Project supplies the materials for each ramp of about $1200 and even supplies tools when a new team is organized. Team members measure and plan the ramp to be built ahead and pre-fabricate parts of the structure. Volunteers build ramps for any individual or family who needs a ramp and cannot afford to have one built. Any able bodied individual can assist the team to build a ramp in a few hours. Come help change a person’s life in a single day!

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Contact: outreach@standrewseguin.org

Habitat for Humanity helps families to achieve stability and self-reliance by helping to provide them with high-quality housing. The Guadalupe County Habitat team is out building houses every Thursday and Saturday. It’s a lot of fun and you don’t have to have any construction expertise.

WORLD MISSION

St. Andrew’s helps to support the Owen Project which provides laptop computers and tablets to children and teachers in the Navajoland, Honduras, and Guatemala. These computers greatly expand the children’s opportunities for learning. The Owen Project mission team travels to Central America and to New Mexico every summer to deliver the computers and teach the children and teachers how to use them.

St. Andrew’s is involved in several overseas missions. We support an orphanage in Uganda through IRIS Global and Iglesias Manos De Dios, an Episcopal Church in Danli, Honduras. Once a year, a mission team travels to Honduras to support the church and provide a free vision clinic for the community. The Manos de Dios team also awards scholarships to students, allowing them to attend middle school, high school, and college.

In addition to these three organizations, St. Andrew’s financially supports the following local organizations: Seguin Youth Services, Guadalupe Valley Christian Counseling Center, the Children’s Advocacy Center, Christian Cupboard Food Pantry, the South Texas Pregnancy Center, Salvation Army, and Jefferson Elementary School (SISD Adopt-A-School Program).
