The Christ & St. Stephen's Brown Bag Program provides one bag of food each weekday for up to 90 clients. They also distribute clothing to men, women and children; provide shelter in the church in inclement weather; provide a sympathetic ear for people navigating public assistance requirements and provide referrals to local agencies and other programs. The people on the food line include homeless men and women; elderly neighbors, the working poor and those recently laid off from their jobs.
