The Resource Center

The St. Paul Resource Center serves those in need who come to our doors on Monday and Wednesday, 10:00am-1:00pm. We provide clothing, hygiene items, on-the-go and pantry foods, blankets, a listening ear, and more.

ST. PAUL SHARES RESOURCES DURING FRIGID TEMPERATURES

During the bitter cold week in mid-January 2024, the need for resources to serve the unsheltered members of our community was tremendous! To help out, the St. Paul Resource Center purchased sleeping bags, blankets, and warm clothing, as well as gathered coats, clothing, and food from our clothes closet and food pantry to share with several organizations that were doing the boots-on-the-ground work to find those in need of shelter. These organizations included Feed Louisville, Care at ASH, UP for Women and Children, and Louisville Outreach for the Unsheltered. Please follow the links to learn more about these wonderful organizations and how you can help support them.

Please enjoy the following video, which provides an overview of the services provided by the Resource Center, St. Paul’s primary outreach to the community.

In addition, our Mobile Resource Center takes everyday essentials to those in need. On the second Saturday of every month, we load up the church bus with clothing, shoes, toiletries, and more and take it to Fourth Ave UMC in Old Louisville. During their Open Door Community Ministry, which feeds the food insecure five days per week, we set up our Mobile Resource Center to serve the unhoused and in-need population. As of June 2024, the Mobile Resource Center has been serving ODCM guests for three years, and we have added prayer support and a Little Library to our offerings.

To make your donation shopping a little easier, you can purchase from our wish lists, which will ship the items directly to the church:
