Scope & Content |
Poster, 20th Anniversary for St. Stephen's, Simpson, Our Savior's Luthern Housing Shelters. "20 Years ago thirteen local churches opened their doors to offer emergency shelter to an estimated 300 homeless people. Homelessness was thought to be a temporary problem. Shelters were meant to be a temporary solution. Today the number of homeless people in the Twin Cities had grown to include children, families and full time workers. On this 20th Anniversary of St. Stephen's emergency shelter, we join together to reflect on the inception and spread of homelessness, to appreciate the people who have given so much, and to look for solutions. Of the thirteen original churches, St. Stephen's Catholic Church, Simpson United Methodist Church and our Savior's Lutheran Church continue to provide emergency shelter. |
