St. George’s Runner-up in Interfaith Power & Light’s Cool Congregations Challenge

by 3 Comments

St. George’s Environmental Stewardship Committee (ESC) has donated their Cool Congregations runner-up award from Interfaith Power and Light (IPL) to Downtown Greens. Left to Right: Stephen Hu (ESC Communications and Engagement), the Rev. Joe Hensley (rector of St. George’s), Sarah Perry (executive director, Downtown Greens), and Shane Riordan (ESC Co-Chair).

St. George’s Episcopal Church has been selected as a runner-up in Interfaith Power & Light’s Cool Congregations Challenge. The annual contest accepts applications from religious congregations around the United States who are doing work to address global warming by reducing their carbon footprint as they create models of sustainability within their communities.

St. George’s won a Sacred Grounds award for hosting The Table (a weekly farm to table food distribution program), composting the organic waste from that program, and creating a large pollinator garden. St. George’s was also recognized for promoting and supporting the non-profit Downtown Greens’ expansion project to purchase the buffer land by Braehead Farm to preserve as green space for public enjoyment and agricultural training. The $500 prize was donated to the Downtown Greens’ project to help pay off their loan for the buffer.

“St. George’s Episcopal and the other national winning congregations are casting a vision for the kind of world in which they want to live, and then carrying out that vision with practical actions that make a real difference in creating lasting solutions to climate change,” said Rev. Susan Hendershot, President of Interfaith Power & Light.

The Cool Congregations Challenge shows that people of faith are united by concerns about climate change and are taking action. The winners provide strong moral role models for their communities, and their activities have a ripple effect with people in their own homes.

Interfaith Power & Light is mobilizing a religious response to global warming in congregations through the promotion of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

The Table at St. George’s Receives Generous Grant

by Leave a Comment

The Table The Honeywell Charitable Fund of the Community Foundation awarded The Table at St. George’s a $25,000 grant to support its ministry to provide fresh fruit and vegetables to those challenged with food insecurity in the city of Fredericksburg and surrounding counties.

This generous grant will help provide food and fresh product to The Table, a market-style food pantry and The Table in the World (TITW), an initiative which provides low-contact deliveries of fresh produce, eggs, and cheese directly to community sites and organizations that serve diverse clients in need.

In 2021, The Table and TITW purchased more than 85,000 pounds of food from a local produce distributor and more than 850 creates of produce from a local farmer to distribute to those experiencing food insecurity.  Those served include the young and aged, the able-bodied and the physically challenged, the unemployed and many who are working one or two jobs but are unable to earn enough to adequately nourish their families. Food provided by The Table/TITW and other such food operations can make a significant difference in the amount of food available to the people of our community, many of whom receive food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The Table is grateful for the generosity of the Honeywell Charitable Fund of the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region and all who support St. George’s efforts to improve the lives of people living with food insecurity. More than 90% of funding for The Table comes from awards, donations, fundraisers, and grants. In-kind donations are provided by corporations and local businesses.
