Volunteer & Serve
Our faith reminds us that we are inextricably bound together; our liberation is linked to each other. Tied up together. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God.
Together we create Middle Church and there are so many ways for you to get involved! For more information about volunteer opportunities, email Elise Tiralli.

Migrant Mutual Aid
Here are 3 ways to get involved
- Email Rev Amanda to be added to a Rapid Response Signal Text Chain. From time to time we hear about evictions, sweeps, and other things that need rapid attention. This Signal chain is the best way to respond.
- Middle partners with Judson Memorial Church’s Radical Hope Mutual Aid Center every Monday. Volunteers are needed to set up the space, interact with migrants, set out food, prepare food, clean, and other tasks that arise. Volunteer shifts are: 9:00-12:00, 12:00-3:00, and 2:00-6:00. Email Micah Bucey to sign up for a shift. If you’d like to go with someone from Middle, email Deborah Berg McCarthy to coordinate!
- Attend an Immigration Teach-In on Sunday, July 9th immediately following worship at East End Temple. We’ll dive into America’s complicity in our global immigration crisis, and hear what city, NGOs, and houses of worship are doing to meet our current city’s need.

Volunteers gather every Sunday for two hours after worship services at The LES Comm-Unity Fridge 602 East 9th Street Corner of East 9th Street and Ave B. – on the east side of Tompkins Square Park. Comm-Unity Fridge is stationed in front of garden of Trinity LES Lutheran Parish.
