West End Drop-in (1Just City)
(formerly St Matthew's Maryland Community Ministry)
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 West End Commons, located in West Central Winnipeg at 365 McGee Street. We are one of five parishes providing ongoing active support to the West End Drop In of 1Just City through the St. Matthews Maryland Anglican Consortium (Diocese of Rupert’s Land) as well as several United Churches in Winnipeg. These relationships draw on the shared ministry of St. Matthew's Anglican Church and the former Maryland United Church that shared the building for many years.
West End Drop-In is temporarily housed at the 1Just City West Broadway site at 222 Furby St. (Crossways in Common), in order to continue their programs there while repairs are being carried out. When these repairs are finished, West End Drop- In will return to its home base at West End Commons and resume full programming and activities. Volunteers from St. Mary who would enjoy meeting our friends in the West End are welcome to sign up for various positions using the link https://signup.com/go/FBHpcpx The areas requiring volunteers are hospitality, a friend, food bank, community barbecues etc. St. Mary supports the annual fundraiser for the Drop-In, the Urban Retreats Garden Tour. This year's tour will be held June 24, 2023 in South St. Vital. More information about tickets is HERE We also provide donations of non-perishable food items for the Emergency Food Cupboard - stocked primarily by supporting congregations.
