St Stephen’s participates in the REST program (Rotating Emergency Shelter Team) which is now in its eighth year and operates from Nov. 15 to April 15. They also prepare hot lunches once weekly for the homeless. Says Pam Martori, food coordinator at St. Stephen’s, “Not only has the food created a spirit of community among the REST participants, it has joined the church hosts together in more of a partnership. I wish I could describe this adequately so you could feel how truly you have made a difference.”
