St. Stephen’s has a number of on-going projects that provide food to hungry people, advocate for affordable housing, create and promote art, and work for justice in our Columbia Heights neighborhood and in our city.

Loaves and Fishes

Loaves and Fishes, our hot meal program, has been providing hot meals since the late 1960s at Noon on Saturdays, Sundays, Monday federal holidays, Christmas, and Thanksgiving — days when other soup kitchens are closed. Read more about Loaves and Fishes on its webpage.

Lean & Hungry Theater

Lean & Hungry Theater is St. Stephen’s resident theater company. Since 2007, Lean & Hungry Theater has been transforming Shakespeare’s works into 1-hour audio plays. These plays are broadcast on public radio stations and used in classrooms as teaching tools. Read more about Lean & Hungry on its website.

The Urban Village Corporation

In the 1960s St. Stephen’s gave away almost all of its land and helped purchase adjoining properties for the construction of Urban Village, the affordable housing apartment complex that surrounds the church on three sides. Today, the Urban Village Corporation, an outgrowth of that project, works with tenants in Columba Heights who are pursing affordable housing conversions of their buildings. The Urban Village Corporation is made up of St. Stephen’s parishioners and Urban Village residents. During our Fall 2009 Help the Homeless Mini-Walk, parishioners detailed some of these efforts; you can see some of this in a video posted on YouTube.

Washington Interfaith Network

St. Stephen’s is a member of the Washington Interfaith Network (WIN); parishioners are active in many of WIN’s efforts to improve city services in our neighborhood and across the city. Read more about WIN on its website.

The Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington

The Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington was founded by St. Stephen’s Church in the 1980s and has since gone on to become a city-wide social service agency. St. Stephen’s remains an active member of theSamaritan Ministry of Greater Washington.

St. Stephen’s Housing

With another organization, St. Stephen’s Church owns two homes on Newton Street that are used as transitional housing for families moving out of homelessness.
