    "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

    • Who are We

      The Charitable Works Ministry is the Food Bank for the Gahanna Zip Code (43230). We are connected to LSS 211 Central Ohio. Whenever individuals call 211 for food and identify themselves from Gahanna, the request is directed to us. We then fulfill the request by providing enough food for three meals a day for five days. Both delivery and pick up options are available. We also provide some utility support and help for other types of emergencies.

      Our mission is derived from Matthew 25:34-46, where Christ defines how we, in mercy and love, are to care for the bodily needs of others.

    • How to Find Us

      We are located past the church near the west corner of the school. The building is light colored stone, with a driveway sloping down. Our office is in the lower level, near the garage door.

    • Out of love for Christ and others, we...

      Feed the hungry:  During a typical month, the Saint Matthew Charitable Works Ministry provides an estimated 5,310 meals to 133 households within the Gahanna community.

      Give drink to the thirsty: An average family of 7 of more will receive two gallons of milk as well as two containers of juice.

      Clothe the naked: The Charitable Works Ministry collects, sorts, and boxes clothing items and household goods for distribution to Joseph's Coat.

      Shelter the homeless: When need is established, the Charitable Works Ministry will assist families in the payment utilities.

      Visit the sick: In addition to personal visits, the Ministry will help ease the burden of medical bills and prescriptions, if need is established.

      Visit the imprisoned: The Charitable Works Ministry helps provide cookies for the KAIROS ministry.

      Bury the dead: The Ministry will provide help with funeral expenses, if need is established.
    • How you can help us

      Donate clothing and household goods:
      We can accept clothing and household goods that we will pass on to Joseph's Coat of Central Ohio for distribution. A donation box is located at the NW corner of the school, or donations be brought in person while we are open.

      Participate in the monthly donations after mass.
      Monetary are collected on the 4th Sunday of each month except November (the 3
      rd Sunday) and December (none). Donations can be made by cash or check, made out to “St. Matthew Charitable Works.” Donations can also be made through Online Giving. Donations are tax-deductible.

      Donate both perishable and non perishable items. Toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, hand soap and laundry soap are always in low supply.

      Volunteer to stock shelves, sort and box clothing, or prepare boxes of food for pickup or delivery.

      Help make sandwiches for St. Lawrence Haven who provides free lunches to the homeless Monday through Friday. 

      Pray for those in need and those active in this ministry.

 
Our Mission: As a community of believers who know, love, and serve Jesus Christ, we celebrate the sacramental life of the Church, proclaim the saving message of Christ, and share the love of the Lord, especially with the least, the poor, and the suffering. 

Our Vision: To make disciples who love Jesus and have a passion to worship, serve, and evangelize.
