Shutdown Assistance

Home / Shutdown Assistance

Free Groceries – Pick up a grocery bag of shelf-stable food from our church front office. We can provide one bag per family each week. No registration or advance notice is required. Stop by St. Stephen’s any time from 9:30 am – 5:00 pm Monday-Friday.

Wednesday Night “Takeout with Love” – In response to the challenges many are facing during the government shutdown, St. Stephen’s is introducing the “Takeout with Love” program to care for our furloughed community members. On Wednesday, November 5th and 12th, we’ll be preparing delicious “To Go” meals for families affected by the furlough. Families can stop by the church to pick up a meal. Simply drive up to the front of the church between 6-7 pm, and our volunteers will bring the meal right to your car—no questions asked.

Free Fruit and Vegetable Distribution – On Friday, November 7 and December 5 at 5 pm, we’ll be distributing fresh produce. This is a drive-through event that continues until our supply is exhausted. No signup or registration is required.

Free Thanksgiving Dinner – On Saturday, November 22 at 7 am, we’ll be distributing food, Thanksgiving Dinner supplies, women’s hygiene products, and diapers (for children and adults).
