St. Thomas' Episcopal Church

St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church Community Food Bank provides supplemental food assistance on a weekly basis to residents of the Dubois-Crowheart area. The Food Bank also maintains and stocks a satellite food pantry at the High Country Senior Center. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, we offer food boxes that contain all the ingredients to cook a holiday meal.

The Ram Pack Program at the Dubois K-12 provides weekend meals to students in need of supplemental food during that time. The Community Food Bank of St. Thomas' supports this Program.

Chrismoose ensures children have a gift to open on Christmas morning.  We do that by connecting the generous Dubois community with the children who benefit.  Chrismoose is supported by the St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church Community Food Bank.

Vendors and shoppers get together to share home-grown and home-made offerings. This market creates business for area people, makes  fresh, local goods available, and builds community. The Farmer’s Market is supported by the St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church Community Food Bank, and all donations from vendors and customers are donated to the Food Bank.

The Community Garden makes fenced garden plots available for rent, connecting beginning and seasoned gardeners. Fresh produce is grown, knowledge is shared, and community is fostered. Some of the produce grown here makes its way to the Farmers’ Market, or is shared with the cyclists and hikers who stay overnight as guests of the Cyclist/Hiker Ministry. The Community Garden is supported by the St.Thomas’ Episcopal Church Community Food Bank.

 St. Thomas’ opens its Community Room to shelter cyclists and hikers May through September. Dubois is on the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail and is close to the Continental Divide Trail. Our maximum capacity is 8 people per night, first come, first served. By offering this shelter, cyclists and hikers have a warm, safe place to spend the night.

The Music Ministry brings together musicians from the Upper Wind River Valley for a weekly jam session every summer. Those who just love to listen also attend! This ministry connects the community with song and fellowship.

St. Thomas' Outreach provides emergency assistance for basic living expenses, travel to medical appointments, and other varied needs.

UVHC is a clearinghouse for assistance information, and seeks to help resolve a variety of problems for its' clients.  It is supported by St. Thomas' Outreach.

St. Thomas’ is privileged to administer three scholarship funds: The Adeline Ross Scholarship Fund, the Jim Duffy Memorial High School Scholarship, and the Ressa Lucas Memorial Fund for Preschoolers. Combined, these scholarships make funding available to pursue undergraduate or graduate studies, vocational education or training, continuing Christian education, ministry scholarships, and enrichment and activity programs for preschoolers.

The Opportunity Shop Thrift Store is a benefit to the Community of Dubois. They provide an outlet for donations of all kinds which are processed and sold in the shop. After expenses are paid all remaining funds are disbursed to other nonprofits who help improve the lives of those in our community, individually and through community projects. The Shop also donates items directly to those in need or families in crisis. The Shop creates jobs and volunteer positions. The Opportunity Shop is self-supported.
