Volunteers help on assigned workdays in the construction and rehabilitation of homes. There are also opportunities to serve on governing boards and committees for both affiliates.
Hunger Appeal - Designated gifts to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal may be given at any time. The congregation designates all special Lenten offerings to this purpose.
Meals on Wheels - Volunteers deliver hot prepared meals from the Chester Nutrition Site to the elderly and homebound in the Mendham area. Grace volunteers serve weekdays during April and October.
Quilters - Simple machine stitched and tied quilts are made from donated new fabrics, used sheets, drapes, tablecloths, etc. They are shipped to Lutheran World Relief and then sent to domestic and foreign disaster areas. The Quilters meet every Wednesday morning.
