Care Response Team
Helping Neighbors With Immediate Needs

Sometimes families in our community need help fast.
A pantry runs low. A child needs diapers. An unexpected bill throws everything off.
St. Matthew’s Care Response Team keeps food, diapers, and emergency supplies ready so we can respond with compassion and practical help when neighbors need it most.
Because loving our neighbor isn’t only something we believe. It’s something we do.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” -Galatians 6:2
Why This Ministry Matters
Every week, families in Sterling reach out to St. Matthew's needing urgent help.
Sometimes it’s diapers for a baby. Sometimes, groceries are needed to get through the week. Sometimes it's help with medical bills, or keeping the lights on.
These are neighbors navigating hard seasons, and St. Matthew’s believes no one should face that alone.

How Can You Help?
Prayer
