Three EDR programs help alleviate immediate needs of some of Delaware’s hungry, homeless, and working poor, including children. During the pandemic, food collections in our parking lot support this ministry, but typically, Westminster sends a team to serve meals on-site.

Friendship House serves more than 10,000 people annually through their myriad of programs, including the Clothing Bank, Empowerment Centers, Code Purple, Financial Assistance, and Transitional Housing. Westminster volunteers participate in these programs by preparing meals, collecting clothing, staffing Code Purple operations, and serving on the organization’s board and committees. There are many opportunities to get involved.
