Samaritan Ministry’s Urban Experience workshop introduces student groups to the diverse neighborhood surrounding our Northwest office and to the issues of homelessness, poverty and hunger. The workshop is offered Saturdays from 9:30am to 1:00pm. The Urban Experience begins with an introduction to Samaritan Ministry. Next, a walking tour explores the neighborhood around Samaritan Ministry’s Northwest office. Urban Experience participants become more familiar with the area, the people, and what it feels like to live here. The workshop concludes with lunch at “Loaves and Fishes” located at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Church on 16th Street. This meal program provides hot meals to the poor and homeless each weekend. Urban Experience participants share a meal and have conversation with the meal participants.
