Make Church An Adventure
Get Involved.

Hancock Church provides four volunteers year-round on the second Saturday morning of every month (8:45-11:00) to the Lexington Food Pantry, helping clients shop for non-perishable foods like cereal, soup, and canned fruits and vegetables. It’s a great way to meet others from Hancock and be involved without a big time commitment. Volunteers must be high-school aged or older. First timers welcome!

The Interfaith Garden, located across from the Lexington Green, donates all its produce to the Lexington Food Pantry. From March to October, Hancock sends 2-3 volunteers twice a month to work with like-minded folk to tend the garden on Tuesday afternoons or Saturday mornings. No experience needed! Come help plant, weed, water, harvest, chat, laugh and build community as we grow nutritious fresh produce for those with food insecurity in our midst.

The flowers that brighten the chancel each week are donated by church members in memory of loved ones. Volunteers are needed to make calls and emails to people to line up donations for one or two months a year. We already have a list of people who have donated in the past, so most of the work is simply contacting those people to see if they would like to donate again (most do). The task itself is not too difficult and it’s a good way to get to know other members of the church

The Prudential Committee, which is responsible for the use, care, and maintenance of all church properties, seeks volunteers for occasional projects and Saturday morning work days. The projects can involve many of the talents that you already have, and include activities like cleaning and yard care.

For those seeking ways to build relationship and care for the members in our own congregation there are many ways to get involved, such as providing meals, delivering flowers, or helping to assist with rides to church events and worship

The Fuller Center for Housing and Habitat for Humanity are two international organizations, both founded by our friend Millard Fuller, whose mission is that everyone deserves a decent place to live. Hancock has had a long history of working with both groups, ranging from a 10-day build in Hawaii to individual days working on a new home in Tewksbury. It’s an incredible experience; come and help a needy family with a gift that lasts a lifetime. No experience is needed – part of the fun is learning new skills – and complete newcomers are welcome.
