Donations of meat for the Back Door Ministry have slowed down. If you are able to provide packages of ground meat—chicken, turkey or beef (no pork please) the Back Door Ministry would be grateful for any amount you can donate. Monetary donations are also welcomed, just write Back Door Ministry on your check. Ground meat is combined with pasta, rice and/or vegetables for a delicious hearty meal.
For matters of health, Racquel Jones, St. Malachi’s Back Door Ministry Coordinator, is taking personal medical leave. Please keep her in your prayers. Please contact Jeanette at the rectory regarding any Back Door Ministry needs.

Volunteers are needed from 9AM-1:30PM.

As we wrap up the month of March, we are wrapping up our Food Drive. What a COVID success story! When we could not host our annual event, we pivoted and had a food drive instead. We collected 6,056 food items and cash donations of $2,095! Over 50% of our donations came from new donors that saw our news story on Channels 5 and 19. THANK YOU to our business partners, Second Sole of Lakewood, Achilles Running Shops, Willoughby and Cleveland Heights and Ritchies Sporting Goods. Please support these local businesses and mark your calendars for the Historic Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day St. Malachi Church Run/Walk on 9/18/2021! With a 2 mile walking distance and lovely September weather, let’s make this a real Parish community event!
We are grateful for all the donations we receive. But there are some items that we always need. Donations of the following items would be appreciated: coffee, sugar, creamer, eggs, butter, oil, seasonings, hot and cold cereals. Please bring your donations to the rectory between 8:30AM –2PM on weekdays, 9:30AM-2PM on Saturdays and 8:30AM-Noon on Sundays.

The Back Door Ministry is in need of volunteers to assist in preparing meals & snacks as well as greeting our guests at the window and serving them breakfast, lunch and snacks. We offer 2 to 4 hour shifts. Our doors are open from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM Monday to Friday; 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays and 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Sundays. It is a great way to share in our ministry of serving the poor! Please call the Rectory @ 216-861-5343 to speak to our kitchen coordinator, Racquel, for more information or to volunteer.
Donations of food are needed for our Back Door Ministry. During the summer months, the population we serve increases, however because schools are closed & people go on vacation, our food & supplies dwindle. Your donations would be greatly appreciated so that we can continue providing wholesome meals to our guests. The Back Door is in need of the following: coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, cream, cold & hot cereal, cheese, onions, potatoes, eggs, butter, oil, seasonings, ham, turkey, chicken, ground beef & tuna.
Please bring your donations to the rectory between 8:30AM-2PM on weekdays, 9:30AM-2PM on Saturday & 8:30AM-Noon on Sunday.
