Since 1997, St. Margaret's has sent a group of youth and adults to work at children's shelters in Honduras each summer. Members of our committee have gone on these missions, and we help to gather needed items and provide administrative assistance each year. We also give funds toward other projects in Honduras. We contribute and help raise funds for Episcopal Relief and Development, and we have given financial aid to parishioners with personal mission abroad.
This summer our youth participated in an Honduras trip as well as a construction trip to Appalachia. Other youth from St. Margaret's were counselors at two seperate camps at the Bishop Claggett Center in Buckeystown. One of those weeks, Camp Amazing Grace, is for disadvantaged youth whose parents are incarcerated. Another week was for those with special challenges. Every summer, the youth of St. Margaret's also act as counselors for Camp Allen, a week-long summer camp for underprivileged children in the Allen apartments on Forest Drive.
