Beals Park Clean Up
Pilgrim Church and the North Weymouth Civic Association joined forces to clean up Beals Park for the town-wide clean up day.
Feeding the Hungry
Pilgrim joined other South Shore faith communities and Boy Scouts to purchase supplies and package over 12,000 meals to be distributed to food pantries and other local agencies in Weymouth, Quincy, Braintree, and Randolph.
Additionally the first Sunday of every month (Communion Sunday) the church offers non-perishable food items which are blessed and donated to the Weymouth Food Pantry.

Giving Tree
Each year, Pilgrim Church has a "Giving Tree" that we decorate with donations for a local agency doing good work in the community. This year, we're collecting hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves for the Friends of the South Shore Homeless.
Craft Workshops to benefit the Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore
Beginning in June and monthly through November, Pilgrim members and friends made table decorations for the annual Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore children's Christmas party.
Great Pumpkin Give-a-Wey 2014
Pilgrim handed out tickets to the pumpkin patch at the town's annual Great Pumpkin Give-a-Wey. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!
Volunteering at the Prison Book Program
Pilgrim members and friends volunteered at the Prison Book Program in Quincy and, along with others, prepared hundreds of packages of books to go out. Prisoners have limited access to educational materials and PBP provides free books for personal development during incarceration because education is a powerful tool that reduces the likelihood that a prisoner will return to the prison system.
North Weymouth Neighborhood Day
Pilgrim Church had a booth at the the North Weymouth Neighborhood Day in August of 2014. Several hundred of our neighbors came to this free event. Pilgrim invited folks to spin the prize wheel for Christian-themed bracelets, magnets, angels, tea light holders, teddy bears, and beach balls. "When you have faith, you win!" The event was sponsored by the North Weymouth Civic Association.
Volunteering at Interfaith Social Services
In July, we volunteered at the Interfaith Social Services Bureau Drawer Thrift shop. The Bureau Drawer is staffed entirely by volunteers. Donated items are sold and the proceeds fund ISS programs. Learn more about Interfaith Social Services by clicking the link.

Weymouth Clean Up Day
In May, Pilgrim Church partnered with North Weymouth Civic Association and the Weymouth Firefighters to clean Beals Park for the annual Clean-Up Day. About a third of the entire group is pictured here. We had about 30 volunteers and filled close to 100 lawn and leaf bags!
Father Bill's Place
A team from Pilgrim cooked and served lunch and dessert at Father Bill's Place in Quincy. Once the meal had been served, our team sat and shared the meal with the folks at Father Bill's. It was a nourishing experience that fed all in body, mind, and soul!
