Workshop Description
In 1990, Deacon Sarah Tracy and Episcopalians from the parish and from around the diocese, created a ministry of hospitality for women and children in poverty. Today, this day center serves an average of 70 women and children a day with basic needs and programs to help people to move forward in the context of a community of care and respect. It is a place where guests, volunteers, staff and donors create a community where all lives are charged in positive ways. St. Margaret's House serves as a national model of what can be created when people come together to help one another.
