St. Philip's signature ministry is hunger. We are a supporter of the local ecumenical organization, Rochester Area Neighborhood House (RANH), a private nonprofit community service organization that assists individuals and families in need by providing such items as food, clothing and transportation services. RANH partners with area churches, social service organizations, businesses, and local residents to help neighbors in crisis move toward self-sufficiency. Neighborhood House is staffed primarily by volunteers. Sudden job loss, divorce, death of a spouse, or another tragic event can change everything for an individual or a family. RANH recognizes the basic need of residents in crisis and responds with emotional and financial assistance. St. Philip's participates in collecting food on a continual basis, participates on the board, and collects and distributes holiday food baskets each year.
