St. Athanasius Orthodox Church in Isla Vista, California has a ministry to homeless people. It is based on an incarnational model; just as our Lord Jesus, the Word become flesh, became human to meet us where we are and redeem us body and soul, tangibly and inwardly, St. Brigid Fellowship seeks to help as they can, variously finding housing and providing tents, providing such things as blankets and warm clothing, meals, and more. Sustenance.
And in addition to this, friendship. They also make referrals to other programs and services relating to the needs of those the Lord brings their way: detox centers, for example. And they “have gotten benefits for those with physical and mental disabilities.” Click on the following for their website:
