"Love your neighbor as you love yourself." These words of Jesus invite us into a life of service and care for those around us.
At SPC, we define mission as spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ by the sharing of God's love and hope through word and deed - serving the people of the world with our presence, our resources, and our tangible care.
We believe following Jesus into the world literally means that we want to serve Christ anywhere and everywhere we can, in our local communities and across the globe. For some this will mean getting on an airplane and traveling outside the country. For others this will mean serving weekly dinners to the hungry. In these ways we are joining in Christ's work in our world.

ISSAQUAH FOOD AND CLOTHING BANK
The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank, which distributed food throughout the pandemic with a drive through no contact model, has returned to a self-select model inside the building. Since safety is a high priority, they have remodeled the store to allow 6 ft of distance, installed plexiglass dividers, intensified cleaning and mandated the use of gloves and masks. Due to the need to social distance and strictly limit the number of people inside the building, they have extended their shopping hours and therefore need many more volunteers. SPC has “adopted” the evening shift every other Monday evening from 4:00-7:00. We have several volunteers on board but are finding we could really use a few more folks. If you are looking for a way to serve during this time of food insecurity for many people, please email

VACCINE VOLUNTEERS
Recently the City of Seattle and Swedish Hospital partnered to opened a mass vaccination clinic at Lumen Field. This, the largest civilian-led vaccination site in the country, is setting out to meet the goal of 22,000 vaccinations a day. But in order to do that they need lots of hands. That's where you come in. If you'd like to volunteer to make this goal a reality you can go to https://www.communityvaccination.org. There are a lot of ways to help out. And no medical experience is needed!
BLOOD DRIVE
Every day, hundreds of people in the Pacific Northwest receive blood transfusions at local hospitals thanks to the generosity of donors at Bloodworks Northwest Pop-Ups and donation centers. In March, Mary Queen of Peace is providing an opportunity for our community to help support patients in need at local hospitals..

FOOD & CLOTHING BANK
The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank is committed to providing quality food, clothing and other items to hundreds of families each week in our community, and SPC has the opportunity to be a part of this effort. Each Sunday food can be dropped off in Sanctuary Hall, and we will deliver the items to the food bank.
HOLIDAY GIFT BARN
Every November, we typically have a Christmas tree filled with gift tags for Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank’s Holiday Gift Barn in Sanctuary Hall. Pickering Barn was then turned into a giant department store where families who needed help could shop for free. This year, IFCB is adjusting its program to ensure everyone’s safety while still providing the best holiday experience possible for families.
