Food Truck Ministry
We are partnering with Manna House to prepare and serve a hot supper to an area in our community on the first Thursday of each month. We need your help! You can serve by preparing food at the church (or possibly at home), donating food or supplies, and serving food from the truck. |

Homeless Ministry
Each month, a group from St. Mark's visits several homeless camps in the downtown Huntsville area to offer friendship and encouragement, and to deliver light supplies including food, water, and dog food for pet owners who are in need. |
St. Mark's Food Pantry
This long-standing community service ministry seeks to serve hungry families and individuals in the Huntsville and Madison County areas. These are coordinated through Huntsville Assistance Program (HAP) and Food Line (256-534-2424).
Free Pantry
Take what you need. Give what you can. This little pantry is found outside St. Mark's, facing Franklin St., and is available for all in need at any time.

Blessings in a Backpack

Women of the ELCA
There are 5 circles of the St. Mark’s Unit of the Women of the ELCA (WELCA). These groups come together on a monthly basis for study, support and action.
