St Stephens Care Center Food Pantry

Catholic Charities can help with basic needs while you work toward self-sufficiency. St. Stephens CARE Center provides Compassion, Aid, Respect, and Empowerment to those who need us most.

St. Stephens CARE Center is a client-choice food pantry for those who need us most. Clients can shop for food just like a grocery store, but they checkout for free, providing dignity to all.

Our food pantry provides immediate food assistance including canned goods, dry goods, dairy products, meat, bread and pastries, and even fresh, organic produce from our own St. Phocas Garden. Diapers are also available for clients.

In addition to food and clothing, we are also distributing box fans for Project Cool, a program that provides free box fans to seniors in an effort to provide heat relief and prevent heat-related illness during the hot summer months.

St Stephen’s Food Bank

ST. STEPHEN’S FOOD BANK. In 2022 a branch of Davenport’s River Bend Food Bank, St. Stephen’s Food Bank was co-founded in 1982 by John J. ROLLING and Steve Jacobs. Rolling had observed the opening of a food pantry in Yuma, Arizona and returned to Dubuque with the idea of starting one here. In cooperation with the DUBUQUE RESCUE MISSION, St. Stephen’s opened in a small part of the mission and offered food to anyone in need.

In 2014 St. Stephen’s Food Bank served agencies in Jo Daviess County, Illinois Grant County, Wisconsin and Dubuque, Clayton, Delaware, Jackson, and Jones counties in Iowa. Vans and trucks from the food bank’s 110 partner agencies picked up food to be distributed to their clients through food pantries, care centers, scout troops and senior meal sites.

As an example used in the Telegraph Herald indicated, purchasers for food pantries such as one operated by the ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY could purchase from St. Stephen’s 518 pounds of food worth $896 if purchased at retail prices for $64.22. A per pound handling fee covered St. Stephen’s costs.

In 2013 the Iowa Emergency Food Purchase Program was funded by the Iowa Legislature. It provided a dollar-for-dollar match to each food bank according to its distribution numbers. In 2014 St. Stephen’s received $25,000. The funds had to be used to buy nutritious food products and food donated by companies and by the public.

From Birth Through High School

St. Stephen’s Church has an active ministry for children and youth, staffed by an energetic and talented family ministries staff and dedicated, well-trained volunteers. Our family ministry staff sends an email newsletter to parents for which you may sign up.

Our main offering for young children is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. For youth in grades 6-12, we use Journey to Adulthood. Both are highly regarded spiritual formation approaches.

We also strive to provide opportunities for parents to learn, grow, and receive support from other parents and from our clergy.

HOLY BAPTISM

Holy Baptism is available for babies, children, and adults. Read more about Baptism and preparation here.

CONFIRMATION

At St. Stephen’s, young people who desire to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church may enter the preparation process in the ninth grade or later. Confirmation takes place when one of our bishops visits St. Stephen’s, usually in May.

Young adults

Young adults–single or partnered, with children or not, in college or working–are invited to take part in everything St. Stephen’s has to offer, from worship to small groups, choirs to Sunday Community suppers, from outreach and volunteer activities to our environmental stewardship group.

We have tagged 20s and 30s as “young adulthood” but many who participate in young adult activities are in their 40s. The bottom line is, no one will ask you your age–if you think of yourself as a young adult, so do we!
