The Blessing Box

Outside the doors of The Reformed Church, you'll find this community supported food pantry offering non-perishable items to anyone in need. This ministry is co-sponsored by Gene Cook Supports LLC, a local organization dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs.

Each Communion Sunday, we invite our church family to bring donation, which we bless at the altar before stocking the pantry throughout the week. This practice connects God's table to the winder table of community care, ensuring that love and nourishment extend beyond our wells. If you need support, the pantry is always open. The Scottdale Library has one of their own as well.

Take what you need, leave what you can--because love always multiplies.

Scottdale Area Association of Churches

SAAC is a collaborative network uniting various Christian denominations in the Scottdale community. Our mission is to embody the unity of the greater Church by providing shared worship opportunities and supporting local missions that individual congregations might find challenging to sustain alone.

As a resource hub, SAAC directs individuals to numerous organizations and initiatives within our community, addressing diverse needs and fostering collective well-being. Notably, we fund and operate the local food bank, ensuring that essential resources are accessible to those in need.

Monthly Meetings: First Tuesday of every month at noon, hosted at Scottdale Mennonite Church. All are welcome!
Food Bank Distribution: Held on the 2nd Wednesday each month from 10:00 a.m. to noon at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church, located at 525 Porter Avenue, Scottdale, PA 15683.

Through these collaborative efforts, SAAC strives to strengthen our community by embodying the love and service that define our shared faith.

A Space For All of God's Beloved

The Reformed Church is honored to partner with Gene Cook Supports LLC, a local organization dedicated to serving individuals with special needs. Through this partnership, we provide space for yoga classes, healthy cooking workshops, music sessions, and other activities that support growth, wellness, and community.

We believe in creating a space where everyone belongs, recognizing that each of us has unique gifts and needs. By listening and responding to those we serve, we seek to build a community that is truly inclusive, supportive, and rooted in love.

Scottdale Public Library

Access to knowledge and resources is essential for a thriving community. As part of our commitment to local outreach, we provide financial support to the Scottdale Public Library each year, helping sustain its mission of education and accessibility for all.

This partnership is more than just funding—it’s about collaboration. Through the All Together Movement, we work alongside the library and other local organizations to bring resources into one central hub, making it easier for individuals and families to find the support they need. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community where everyone has access to learning, opportunity, and care.

Supporting Those Who Serve

Each year, we provide financial support to the Scottdale and Everson Fire Departments as a commitment to those who protect and serve our community. Their dedication ensures the safety and well-being of our neighbors, and we are honored to contribute to their vital work.

Expanding Our Mission to All of Creation

Our commitment to love and service goes beyond people—it extends to all of God’s creation. Soon, we will be partnering with a local animal rescue to support their vital work in caring for animals in need. This new initiative will allow us to live out our faith in a way that honors the interconnectedness of all life.

More details coming soon—stay tuned!

The Light & Love Tree Project

Christmas is a season of joy, warmth, and togetherness—but for many families, the simple beauty of a decorated home feels out of reach. While resources often exist for gifts and meals, finding a Christmas tree and decorations can be a challenge for those in need.

That’s why our Associate Minister, Nicole Tascarella, started The Light & Love Tree Project—a ministry dedicated to collecting and distributing Christmas trees, ornaments, and festive décor to help families create a home filled with the warmth of the season. Inspired by a single mother in Butler who has given out hundreds of trees over the years, we aspire to carry this vision forward in our own community.

A decorated tree is more than just décor—it’s a symbol of hope, joy, and belonging. By sharing the light and love of Christmas, we help ensure that every home can shine a little brighter this season.
