The Outreach Ministry's mission is to serve the community by feeding the hungry and clothing the poor. The money that Outreach gives to various organizations comes directly from St. Gabriel's parishioners.

Organizations that have received St. Gabriel cash gifts in past years are:

• Episcopal Relief & Development - South Asia relief for tsunami victims.

• Episcopal Relief & Development – Gifts of life.

• Lutheran-Episcopal Campus Ministries

• Outreach Ministries in Burnside

• William Temple House

In addition to the above cash gifts the Outreach Ministry organized events to enable people to participate with no only their treasure but also their time and talents. Some of these events have included:

• On-going collection and delivery of food to the St. Bartholomew’s Food Pantry.

• Collection, sorting, and delivery of Thanksgiving food baskets in conjunction with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic church.

• The purchase of clothing for Operation School Bell.

• Purchase and gift wrap clothing for a Christmas Giving Tree for the clients of Outreach Ministries in Burnside.

• The collection of food and books for Mariah Taylor’s clients in NE Portland.

• Fundraiser Fair to benefit victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita
