yurtWe seek to share God’s love by offering food, shelter, and hope, and by working for a world where all are treated with dignity.

We work in partnership with Pathways Family Shelter in Framingham to create a library, offer craft and quilting workshops and support literacy programs.

We create quilts for children in foster care and for veterans in VA hospitals.

We collect food for A Place to Turn Food Pantry in Natick, eyeglasses for the Lions Club, personal items for men and women serving in Iraq, and Christmas gifts for families in need.

trip participantsIn recent years, youth and adults have traveled to West Virginia, North Carolina, the Dominican Republic, the District of Columbia, New York City and San Francisco to build houses, glean fields, serve meals, and work with the International Heifer Project.

Each month, families of Edwards Church provide monetary support to enable a child to continually attend school at the Tibetan Children's Village.

We support over 40 organizations that provide comfort and assistance to people in need, locally and throughout the world. (For more information about these programs, click here.)

Through the United Church of Christ , we participate in efforts all over the world to bring dignity and hope to people, through partnerships with local churches and organizations.
