Community Involvement

Community

At Waterloo CRC we strive to be a positive influence within our community in Waterloo. Many of our programs are open to everyone and we have regular events during the year to encourage church members to get to know those in our community.
Spring and Fall Clothing Exchange
Each spring and fall a clothing exchange is held on a Saturday at the church. Clothing can be purchased by the bag ($1 for a small bag, $2 for a large bag) or a bag of clothing can be exchanged for a bag of similar size. This exchange program is open to the general public and volunteers are always appreciated. Donations for the exchange are received on the day of the sale or they can be dropped off at the church earlier. See the Calendar (click here) for the date of the next clothing exchange.
Sunnydale Community Centre
The Sunnydale Community Centre is located in close proximity to Waterloo CRC. The centre is staffed by volunteers and employees sponsored by the House of Friendship. The church supports Sunnydale Community Centre through various volunteer opportunities at the Centre and financial support for its food distribution program, summer camp programs, and other programs as needed.
Fellowship Events
Throughout the year, events are planned to include our local community. These include the summer church picnic, games night, and skating. See the Calendar for time and date. (click here)
University Students
Within very close proximity to the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo CRC is blessed with students who attend worship services and participate regularly in the life of our church. Graham Morbey is a Christian Reformed chaplain who works at both universities during the week. He can be reached at for more information about the on campus and off campus events. Once a month student lunches are held for students, visitors, and new members of our church.

Food Drives
Three times per year, food drives are held for collection of non-perishable food items for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. Drives occur near Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Waterloo CRC also sends a team of food sorters and drivers to pack and deliver Christmas hampers, a program sponsored by the House of Friendship.
