St Matthew's Maryland Community Ministry
(1Just City West End Drop-in)

St Mary volunteers at St Matthew Maryland
Members of St Mary Anglican work with and support the inner-city community ministry of  1Just City's West End site at St Matthew’s Maryland, located in West Central Winnipeg . We are one of five parishes providing ongoing active support to the community ministry through the St. Matthews Maryland Anglican Consortium (Diocese of Rupert’s Land) as well as nine United Churches in Winnipeg.

Volunteers from St Mary's prepare and deliver food, assist with programs and activities, including providing hospitality at the drop-in. This vital work has continued throughout the pandemic. St MM adjusted programming, with safety protocols in place, to continue to meet the need of neighbourhood families.

We also provide donations of non-perishable food items for the Emergency Food Cupboard - stocked primarily by supporting congregations.  Emergency Food Cupboard's most in need items: 
  • Kraft dinner
  • Pasta sauce
  • Dry pasta
  • Canned prepared pasta – e.g. Chef Boyardee or Alphaghetti
  • Canned soups (the heartier the better)
  • Canned pork and beans
  • Peanut butter
  • Canned meats and tuna
  • Oatmeal or cereal

Donations collected from parishioners  for the Emergency Food Cupboard are regularly delivered to St. Matthew's Maryland. See more about the community ministry at St Matthew’s Maryland (1Just City West End Drop-in) on their website and contact them directly to volunteer and for additional opportunities to help.
