In addition, St. Thomas Church sponsors 12 Community Dinners throughout the year. Dinners are free and are held the second Saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome. One or more parishioners take on the responsibility of shopping and preparing the meal. Other parish volunteers assist in set up, serving, visiting with our guests and clean up. Dinner is served at 5:30pm.

St. Thomas Church is host to the Open Arms Shelter for Homeless Men one Saturday a month. Help is always needed to set up cots for the men and to provide a small snack during their overnight stay. The guests sleep in our Parish Hall on scheduled dates and as the need arises.

The Outreach Committee coordinates Christmas Gifts for several needy individuals (seniors, youth and families) who otherwise would receive little if anything for Christmas. 

The Pumpkin Patch Project at St. Thomas, co-sponsored by St. John's Episcopal Church, Larchmont, Trinity/St. Paul Episcopal Church, New Rochelle, and All Saints Episcopal Church, Harrison provides an opportunity to enjoy fellowship and the spirit of cooperation as thousands of pumpkins are delivered, unloaded and sold on our front lawn. Local charities benefit from the proceeds of this event.

Our Thrift Shop is open Wednesdays 11AM - 3PM and Saturdays 10AM - 1PM. The Thrift Ship is closed the month of August. We are accepting donations of small household items and clothing in good or excellent condition as well as books (particularly novels and children's books) during Thrift Shop hours. To reach the Thrift Shop by telephone you can call 914-777-3408.

Volunteers meet every Tuesday at 10AM in the Parish Hall and Kitchen for the Brown Bag Lunch Program / Food Pantry to prepare a simple brown bag lunch. Anyone is welcome to come to the Heathcote Hall entrance of the Parish Building (168 W. Boston Post Road) to pick up a lunch bag between 11AM-12 noon on Tuesdays. Clients can also select groceries that will provide at least 2 additional meals.

Inreach Committee

The members of this committee respond to the needs of our parish family. This may include: preparing or arranging meals for the housebound or for a family in temporary need due to some hardship; transporting folks to doctor's appointments; a phone call from time to time to the lonely; sending cards; etc. This is the ministry for those who have busy schedules and cannot commit a lot of time on a regular basis. Volunteers are always welcome.

Volunteers from the Community are always welcome to work with our parishioners in any of the above service ministries. Please contact Deacon Lynn Werdal at lwerdal@aol.com or 914-698-0300 (you can leave a message).
