Food Bank
Hours of Operation: Wednesdays - 9:00 am to 12 noon. No appointment necessary, please bring a photo id.
Our Food Bank is located in a trailer in our parking lot. Food boxes are available for individuals and families. The food bank is staffed by volunteers, with food items provided through the generosity of parish members. Food items may be placed in the bright red grocery cart by the church entrance on Sundays or brought to the church office during the week. Financial contributions are also welcome. Please designate your gift "food bank." Thank you!
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety.

In 1998, the Episcopal Habitat Coalition was formed in the Valley. Since then the Coalition has participated in 40 home building projects and contributed $1 million.
St. Stephen’s parishioners participate in two builds a year; an average of 15 volunteers come bright and early to do whatever is needed, whether it be pounding nails, dry-walling, painting, shingling roofs, or planting trees. During our most recent build, a single-family home in Mesa, $1000 in cash and 2,000 volunteer hours were contributed by our parish. This donation represented approximately 10% of all the volunteer hours for the build. All together this represented $5000 in contributions, which, in market value, provided the equivalent of $40,000 of the cost of building the house.
Contact Vic Grace or the church office for more information or to sign up for the next volunteer day.
