WHO WILL WALK WITH BISHOP MARC?
Which of our parishioners will walk with our new

Episcopal Charities’ annual 7.5- or12-mile Walk-a-

participants to visit and understand how Episcopal
Charities’ 14 partner agencies help poor, oppressed and
endangered Bay Area individuals break the cycle of
poverty and improve their lives. Episcopal Charities
hopes to have representation for all 80 churches in the
diocese including youth groups.
Episcopal Charities’ partner agencies provide food,
shelter, healthcare, tutoring and job training, substance
abuse counseling, healing ministry and social services
to homeless and very low income individuals and
families. Walkers will visit Episcopal Community
Services, Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, the
Family Link, St. Luke’s Clinic, Ohlhoff Recovery,
Sojourn Chaplaincy, Episcopal Homes’ San Francisco
Tower and several San Francisco churches where
representatives of Berkeley Food and Housing Project,
Interfaith Hospitality Network, Canal Alliance, Tri
City Homeless Coalition, St. Dorothy’s Rest, Clausen
House and Bay Area Seafarers’ Service will talk about
their agencies.
Lunch, a T-shirt and snacks will be provided. Parish
