C-4 is an interfaith coalition of congregations (of which Transfiguration is a founding member) in the Colesville area, which provides services to people in need in Montgomery County.  C-4 clients “shop” (for free) for clothing ranging from infant to adult sizes, infant care items, and bath, bed, and kitchen linens and accessories. Transfiguration helps C-4 in the administrative office, to sort and display clothing and other items, to help “shoppers,” and to provide and distribute Christmas toys and backpacks containing grade-appropriate school supplies.  Transfiguration recruits additional volunteers during January and July (Transfiguration Months).

Boy Scout Troop 1444 has been chartered by Transfiguration since 1966. Troop 1444 is a strong and active group with about 11 Scouts and excellent adult family participation. This family involvement over the years has created over 100 Eagle Scouts and keeps an interesting program available for the Scouts to learn, advance, and have lots of fun. Merit badge opportunities abound.  Troop 1444 members, who are working toward Eagle Scout status, often build creative, beneficial projects for Transfiguration Parish.  Transfiguration supports the scouts with troop leadership, troop meeting space, funding support for church projects, and celebrating Scout Sunday.  Transfiguration supports the following scouting groups:  Troop 1444 - Boys (11-18), Troop 1444 - Girls (11-18), Venture Crew 1444 (Boys & Girls 14-21), Cub Scout Pack 250 (Boys & Girls K-5th grade).

We believe that everyone has skills they can use to help others in our community. Skills for Donations helps match our members and their skills with opportunities to serve others. For example, a skilled woodworker might offer to build a custom cabinet for someone else. Once this service is performed, the recipient makes a cash donation to Transfiguration representing the value of the service. To date there has been a wide range of skills and services shared, benefiting the participating community members and the church.
