St. Paul’s Community Church in Cleveland
Federated Church has a long-standing relationship with
St. Paul's Community Church, on the near west side of Cleveland (Ohio City). We raise funds and gather resources to support the many programs there that are so important to that inner city neighborhood.
Back to School Sale
St. Paul's holds a Back to School sale to provide school supplies at reduced prices for neighborhood familes. In early August, Federated collects new school supplies to donate for the sale.
Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen
On the last Sunday of each month, volunteers from Federated travel to St. Paul's to prepare and serve a meal to the those in that neighborhood whose resources might be running low at the end of the month. To help with this ministry, please contact Gwen McCuaig at 440-247-0283 or

Food Pantry Collection
A grocery shopping cart resides in the lobby of the Bell Street building. Non-perishable food items can be left in the basket and they will be taken to the Food Pantry at St. Paul's. Watch the basket and the bulletin for special requests. At holiday times special food collections are announced so that holiday meal baskets can be prepared for distribution to the folks of St. Paul's neighborhood.
Collection of goods for sale at St Paul's Thrift Shop
A St. Paul's collection closet is available off the parking lot of the Bell Street building. Household goods and clothing left in this closet are taken to St. Paul's by volunteers each week for sale at their Thrift Shop. Please make sure that any clothes left are sorted by gender and age and are appropriate to the season. Contact John Bourisseau at 440-247-0722 or
with questions.
