who we are (cont’d)

Together, we strive to offer the stability, dignity, resources, and love that all of us need to flourish. To this end, we undertake many life-giving initiatives, including running a healthcare clinic, an arts program, Sunday services, street outreach, and community meals. But the most important thing we do is spend our lives together: 

• from doctor’s appointments, to birthday parties; 

• from evictions, to finding a home;

• from jail visits, to family visits,

• from mourning death, violence, and loss, to celebrating reconciled relationships

It’s not uncommon for people in the Sanctuary community to tell us, “You’re the closest thing that I have to family."
