W.A.R.M.

Truly we live in a land which God has richly blessed. When we enjoy plenty, we must remember to share the blessings we’ve received. However, anyone can fall on hard times. Sometimes we must rely on God to provide through the goodwill of others to give us a boost. In both giving and receiving, God is actively at work to show us His love and care. 

St. Augustine’s takes Jesus’ words seriously, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” (Mt 25:40). To realize this mission, we support the Westerville Area Resource Ministry (W.A.R.M.) which is a faith-based food resource for folks in the Westerville community. 

The need is always great. We collect food and personal items at our church and one of our dedicated families delivers them to W.A.R.M. to replenish their food pantry. W.A.R.M. gratefully accepts all donations of non-perishable, unexpired items. To participate, please see the list of Most Needed Items.
