Project Spudnik
Dates/times vary
Project Spudnik, started in 2016 under the auspices of the Maryland Master Gardener program, is a youth-led group based at All Saints in partnership with Broadview Baptist Church. The youth built and maintain the garden, growing a variety of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, as well as many flowers and herbs. The produce is donated to food banks in Calvert County (460 pounds in 2019!). In 2019, Project Spudnik was recognized by the Governor’s Office of Service and Volunteerism for its contributions to the community and is a Keep Maryland Beautiful project, sponsored by the Maryland Environmental Trust. Despite COVID-19 restrictions and a reduced staff, Project Spudnik donated 635 pounds 3-7/8 ounces of produce to local food banks in 2020.

Puerto Rico Mission Trip
Each summer, we organize a team of youth and adults to spend a week in Puerto Rico, volunteering on a number of projects related to hurricane and earthquake recovery. As guests of the Diocese of Puerto Rico, our missioners not only experience first-hand the challenges faced by our neighbors, but also the challenges we all share in our efforts to build the kingdom of love and peace.
