Individuals

Homage to the WindThe Outdoor Church solicits contributions directly from the members of its supporting churches, through preaching, seminars and discussion groups, and the distribution of informational brochures and packets.  More than one hundred individuals have provided support for the Outdoor Church in the last two years.  The monthly communion offerings at its many supporting churches and the collections taken at the bi-annual ecumenical services of the Harvard Square Clergy Association are dedicated to the support of the Outdoor Church.  The Outdoor Church encourages and solicits contributions from individuals who live in Cambridge and who participate as volunteers and as lay ministers in the programs of the Outdoor Church from time to time.

Contributions

The Outdoor Church depends on the generosity of the foundations, churches and individuals who provide financial and other assistance for its ministry to the chronically homeless men and women of Cambridge.  We urge you to join us in this extraordinary work.  In addition to financial support, the Outdoor Church welcomes contributions of clean white socks, small toiletries and, in the winter, gloves, hats and scarves.   Please send your check to:
