Each year, in a commitment to serve those in need in Monmouth County, St. George’s by the River Episcopal church earmarks a percentage of its income to be given to the community in financial grants. The Parish entrusts our Outreach Committee to disburse these funds with the hope of keeping and developing community connectedness. Committee members carefully evaluate individual non-profit agencies, and provide grants for things like: adaptive recreational equipment for the physically impaired, STEM enhancements for children, physical plant upgrades and much more.
