SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH OUTREACH MINISTRY
The Outreach Ministry is a collaborative effort between all the ministries of Shiloh Baptist Church of Landover. A Deacon or Minister is assigned by the Pastor to be the coordinator of the ministry. A ministry will be assigned a month during the year to take the lead on an outreach activity and at least 2-4 other ministries will be assigned to assist the lead ministry in carrying out its outreach activity. The intent is to get all of Shiloh involved in participating in an outreach activity in the community during the year.
The SBC Outreach Initiative for the month of February 2025
For the February outreach, Shiloh will be assisting Shepherd’s Cove Emergency Shelter for Women and Children in Capitol Heights, MD. The shelter serves approximately 600 to 700 women every year. Its goal is to provide supportive services to single women and women with children in Prince Georges County. They provide the following services to their residents:
1. Three balanced, nutritious meals daily
2. Afterschool program for ages 5 to 12 years old
3. Permanent & transitional housing assistance
4. Education & employment assistance
5. Physical and mental health care assistance
6. Substance abuse counseling, and
Several other supportive services as needed and required.
The shelter urgently needs cleaning supplies like Lysol, brooms, mops, detergent, and dishwashing liquid; and baby products such as diapers, pull-ups, wipes, and grooming items like lotion, Vaseline, and baby powder.
You may bring your donations anytime during the month of February when the Church is open and place them in the Outreach bin located in the foyer area. And while you are doing so, don’t forget to offer a prayer for the residents of Shepherd’s Cove. We appreciate your kindness in helping others in need. Contact outreach@shilohbc.org if you have questions.
