Partnership with Open Door Outreach Center
St. Stephen is entering into a partnership with Open Door Outreach Center, in Waterford. We will provide the facility space and volunteers at St. Stephen to operate a satellite food pantry. Open Door will provide all necessary equipment, supplies and food. They will also provide all training needed to our volunteers. The satellite food pantry will begin after the first of the year.Â
We are St. Stephen…….……..we are God’s Hands and Feet!
I am a Families First Worker for Wellspring Lutheran Services and member of St.
Stephen. I also head the Outreach Ministry here at the church. Myself and team at
Wellspring are referred by Child Protection Services (CPS) to families in severe crisis.
I’m looking for individuals to be God’s Hands and Feet….resources who can help lift
families out of their specific circumstance and onto a better path. Unfortunately, with
government changes, funds and resources have changed, bringing additional
challenges. Please sign up on the bulletin board in the church lobby
 for any area you feel you could help best and I will call when a situation fits your area of interest.
