Sep 8 @ 11:30 am – 12:30 pm

For several years now, St. James members have partnered with Pastor Bruce Arnold in distributing a meal to those in need. As we do what we can to help our unsheltered neighbors — we have conversation, build relationships and learn about particular needs.

Five days a week — every weekday (Monday through Friday) at 11:30am in the Park Blocks in front of our building — we bring boxes of food and needed items to those who gather steps from our door. We offer protein drinks and protein bars, fruit, cup-a-soup, bottled water, new socks, and hygiene items. In addition, we pick up donated food items from a local Fred Meyer and distribute those too.

You have read about city sanctioned “sweeps” that remove the houseless and tents from our sidewalks. New shelters are also opening, offering a safe environment. In the midst of these changes we continue to provide food and needed items to those in our neighborhood.

Our St. James Social Ministry continues to purchase items thanks to your faithful offerings to St. James.

Recently, donated hygiene kits have been very positively received, so we want to make them a regular item in our boxes. If you are interested in donating supplies, you can access our Amazon Wish List that lists what our supply closet is in need of. You can go to amzn.to/3BazQ9b to take you to the list.

Additionally, during these cold winter months, St. James has handed out over 50 articles of winter clothing, with more ready to go.

Our ministry reaches over 4,000 people a year, thanks to your efforts.
