Mission Projects

State Street Church is active in both local and global mission projects. Locally the church sponsors the Clothes Closet which is open on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. It provides clothes for men, women, and children; sheets, towels and other linens; small toys, and household items such as pans, dishes, etc. are dispersed, with no questions asked, to the needy of Greater Portland.

In addition, each month members of State Street Church volunteer at the Wayside Soup Kitchen. Canned goods are continually collected and donated to the Woodford's Congregational Church ProjectFEED. Each December the Mission Board chooses a special Christmas project to help a local charity. State Street Church has also hosted and does support the New Sudan Education Initiative which is working to build schools in Sudan.

Globally State Street Church contributes to the United Church of Christ Neighbors In Need which works on economic and social justice for Americans and people throughout the world. It also contributes to One Great Hour of Sharing, an international organization to help rebuild areas nationally and internationally that have been through a disaster. Furthermore, it contributes to the Maine Conference OCWM - "Our Church's Wider Mission."
