It’s cold outside. You don’t have a home or food. Who will help you?

Street Church draws us into celebration of the Holy Eucharist with the homeless in the heart of one DC’s business districts near Metro Center. Each Tuesday, we prepare lunch at The Church of the Epiphany and then move to Franklin Park to worship and serve lunch to our homeless guests. Volunteers are needed to help prepare sandwiches at Epiphany, 1317 G St, NW, and to invite people to worship, usher, and distribute food and water. The timeframe is 11:30 am to 2 pm.

  • 11:30 Approximately 12 volunteers make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
  • 12:00 Group discussion, assignments, prayer.
  • 12:30 Push carts with sandwiches, fruit, soup and more to Franklin Park, 14th & K Sts.
  • 1:00 Eucharist and Healing Prayers
  • 1:25 Lunch is served by volunteers; group interaction

No long-term commitment is required; participate when you are able.

Washington National Cathedral partners with the Church of the Epiphany in this weekly ministry to the homeless. To volunteer contact MaryJo DeMatteis
