Community Partners
Citation Needed Press
Citation Needed is a multidisciplinary arts and publishing initiative led by Ari Wolff and Cristina Ferrigno. They bring children, artists, and educators together to make books and imagine new ways of reading, writing, and communicating.
Citation Needed are partnering with us in Fall 2026 to offer Print + Build - after-school art classes for kids K-6. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, students will explore bookmaking, printmaking, sculpture, and collaborative world-building through ambitious, hands-on art projects. Get more information—and register—here!

Parenting Style Playgroups
Parenting Style is a community hub for families with infants and toddlers, founded by Janice Chou, a Certified Positive Discipline Educator and Montessori Guide (and a member of our Sunday morning worshiping community!) Parenting Style hosts unique playgroups that turn respectful parenting theory into active, everyday practice.
Their Positive Discipline playgroups give parents tools to lead with more calm and empathy, while their Montessori playgroups offer a gentle, first introduction to the classroom environment that builds independence and self-confidence.
45th St. Composters and Community Garden
(aka Resistance is Fertile)
Our friends on 45th St are helping us to renew the garden at All Saints. And they inspire us by showing how tending to our local ecology can build real community!
Sunnyside-Woodside Mutual Aid
These folks are doing great work building a network of solidarity and care, and imagining a new and connected community. It was through our partnership with SWMA that we’re able to be part of the Thursday Food Distribution at Bliss Plaza, and so much else that is emerging in our shared vision of a community where everyone has what they need.
Queens Power
Queens Power organizes Queens residents to build power: the power needed to fight for justice for themselves and the communities they live in—and to win. The Episcopal Mission in Sunnyside is proud to be a member organization, organizing around affordable housing, childcare, and other issues Sunnysiders care about.
Sunnyside Drum Corps
Since 1977, the Sunnyside Drum Corps has rehearsed at All Saints Episcopal Church. They are always eager to have new members: kids 9-18 can enroll in their free program—look for them at all the local parades!
