Here at St. Mark’s we take branching out into the world seriously and are always looking for ways to serve our community and beyond!
Outreach has long been a primary focus for St. Mark’s and there are many programs embedded in the fabric of our church community. We engage in local, regional, national, and international efforts to contribute and make a difference. Whether the programs are shared with us through the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, programs sponsored by the national church, opportunities to contribute in international efforts in response to natural disasters, or simply a response to local need; the people of the parish of St. Mark’s want to be present and looking for ways to be engaged.
For more information about any of these programs, contact Outreach Committee Chairs Wes Clay-Anderson and/or John Zelman.
Every September, St. Mark’s holds a mum sale with proceeds benefitting local service organizations. In 2021 the mum sale will benefit the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry, the Glen Ellyn Walk-In Ministry and Shelter for All. Please contact the Outreach Committee if you have any questions at Outreach@stmarksglenellyn.org.
St. Mark’s supports the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry with volunteers, food drives, and monetary donations. For more information, contact Joyce Frawley.
St.Mark’s is affiliated with Shelter For All, a wrap-around social service organization based in West Chicago and provides housing, mentoring, and job training for the homeless. Contact David Dornblaser for more information.

Pumpkin PatchEach year before Halloween, the front lawn of St. Mark’s is turned into a pumpkin patch. Proceeds from the sale of pumpkins support DuPagePads.
In August 2020 we collected 40 backpacks and 10 boxes of supplies for the students of Holy Family Ministries. These students will have paper, crayons, markers, scissors, pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, calculators and USB drives to assist them in learning this school year. Even with the challenges of shopping, many of our parishioners ordered supplies online and had them shipped directly to us.
For more information, contact Director of Children’s Ministry Gina Wood.
