Mary/Tileston Outreach)
SERVICES OFFERED

The St. Mary-Tileston Outreach serves many needs within the community. Some of them are outlined below.

-Food - Each year we distribute about 3500 bags of groceries. The food feeds both adults and children in low income households.

-Hygiene - Hygiene products are given upon request. This year we have served over 1250 individuals at a cost of over $500 per month.

-Clothing - With the help of our hard-working volunteer base we are able to provide clothing assistance to over 2000 people each year. Clothes are carefully selected to best suit the guests needs. A volunteer works with each guest as their "personal shopper".

-Purchasing household items can put a strain on paying essential bills. We try to offer items ranging from pots and pans to microwaves ovens to our guests so they can conserve their limited funds for rent and utilities. Over 700 individuals received household items last year. Seasonal Ministry Projects include Thanksgiving food baskets, Christmas food baskets, Christmas gift program and "Yesterday's Children" shoe boxes delivered to Hadden Hall and other senior citizens in need.

For over 30 years, the Landfall Foundation has been making a meaningful difference in our community by providing grants to local nonprofit organizations and schools. This year, The Sister Isaac Center was honored to be among the recipients of a generous grant award. This grant will support our Feed Our Neighbors initiative, helping us provide essential sources of protein to our guests.
Mary Levesque, our Grant Coordinator was thrilled to receive this award from Stacy Geist, Landfall Foundation Grants Co-Chair.

We are deeply grateful to the Landfall Foundation for investing in our mission and helping us care for our neighbors in need. The work we do would not be possible without the generosity and support of community partners like Landfall.

We have been the fortunate recipients of several generous grants from the Residents of Old Wilmington (ROW), and their support has made a meaningful difference to The Sister Isaac Center. In particular, their grants have often helped us keep our food pantry stocked and ensure that we have food available for our neighbors in need.

The event that helps fund the many grants ROW provides to area nonprofits is largely supported by their popular Back Door Kitchen Tour. Having had the pleasure of participating in the tour several times, I can tell you it is a wonderful way to spend a Fall Saturday!

The tour offers a rare opportunity to step behind the doors of eight stunning historic homes in downtown Wilmington. It is a wonderful combination of history, architecture and beautiful homes—all while supporting an organization that gives back so generously to our local community.

The tour is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 10am - 4pm

Tickets can be purchased by visiting the ROW website at
