Each week the Everett Vineyard hosts and participates in a variety of activities. We welcome everyone to participate.
The Everett Vineyard holds service as one of our key values as a church. This includes both service inside and outside the church. We desire to serve our community well and to serve each other well. Believing a balance between these two types of service is necessary to the health of our church, we encourage everyone to consider being involved in service both inside and outside the church.

"Outside"
Saturday Soup On Saturdays, we offer soup and a comfy chair to anyone who is hungry.
Dinner at the Bell Dinner at the Bell is a program initiated and run by Everett First Presbyterian Church. Every Wednesday evening between 5:30 - 6:30pm, members of the First Presbyterian Church cook and serve dinner for those in need. During a typical week, 75 - 140 people are served a warm meal. We are excited to be able to assist in this outreach by participating on the 4th and 5th Wednesdays of each month.
Toiletries for Dignity In connection with Dinner at the Bell, on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, toiletries are made available after the meal. We continually collect donations for this outreach and assist in handing out the toiletries on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
Interfaith Shelter We are finding a variety of ways to help out at the shelter. The opportunities include:
Adopt-a-Room: When a room opens up at the shelter, we can provide new bedding, new wall hangings, new curtains, and stock the closet with hangers and toiletries. You may participate by donating items to go in the room or by donating your time decorating the room. Homework Help: There are children of all ages at the shelter that need afterschool homework help. This can be as simple as reading with a child to something more difficult.
Dinner: The shelter has a full kitchen available for use. We are able to go in and cook a full dinner for the 30 or so residents.
Christmas presents: We sponsored each child at the shelter and provided them with a gift at Christmas.
Planned Outreaches
We are hoping to do the following outreaches if we have enough volunteers and supplies!
Hot Chocolate on Halloween We will set up a hot chocolate stand in the park for the trick-or-treaters and their parents. We will also participate in the “Downtown Everett Safe Trick-or-Treating Event”. Thanksgiving Baskets We will provide baskets full of the food needed for a traditional Thanksgiving meal to families in need.
