What We Do
Not all of us can do
GREAT things
but we can all so small things with
GREAT love.

The mission of our Parish is to help those in need in Caswell County. Below you will find the many services we offer as well as our community programs. Please let us know how we can help you!
Available Assistance
Food Assistance
The emergency food pantry is the major outreach of the parish. Any individual or family in need of food usually comes to the pantry once a month and receives enough food to last three to five days. Food is donated to the pantry by businesses, churches, schools, civic groups and individuals. Major partners are Food Lion and Second Harvest of NWNC who supply food on a regular basis.
Clothing & Household Assistance
Our Two Hearts Thrift Store provides low-cost clothing to our community. Families who have suffered a fire, flood, or other catastrophic events are eligible for free clothing and some household items. Free clothing and household goods are also available with a recommendation from DSS.
Utility Assistance
The emergency utility ministry seeks to support those who are in danger of having their electrical service disconnected or those who are in need of oil, propane or wood but have no funds with which to purchase these utilities. In the summer months, the parish also seeks to provide fans to those who have no AC. Clients who request this service are eligible for up to $300 every three years. Assistance is provided with funds from grants and donor contributions.
Community Programs
Community Garden
The Caswell Parish partners with the PCC Agriculture Program, as fiscal agent and landowner, to provide a community garden to provide fresh produce for Caswell County residents.
Christmas Cheer
With support from the Womack Foundation and the community, the parish provides Christmas gifts for children whose families needs assistance.
Backpack Ministry
The Backpack ministry, with support from Second Harvest and generous donors, seeks to provide weekend meals to school children who are identified as food insecure. The package of shelf stable food which the students receive on Friday contains enough food for three small meals on Saturday and three meals on Sunday.
Two Hearts Thrift Store
Our Two Heart’s Thrift Store provides low cost clothing, shoes, household items, books, and many other gently used items for sale at greatly discounted prices. Gift certificates are available and tax deductible donations are accepted throughout the year.
