Outreach
With the campus of New Mexico Tech just across from the church on Leroy Place, Epiphany always extends a warm welcome to Tech students.
Through the academic year, a free dinner is provided to them in the parish hall on the first Wednesday evening of the month at 6 o’clock.
Through its budget, Epiphany reaches out to the following community programs:
Puerto Seguro Safe Harbor, which has fought homelessness and poverty in Socorro County since 2001. It provides a safe place where clients may shower, acquire clothing and food and be connected with other agencies to help them with housing, employment, education, rehabilitation, counseling and medical issues. Clients include men, women and children of all ages and many veterans and native Americans. Safe Harbor does not charge for any service. Its support comes from donations as well as its Secondhand Store, a local thrift shop it took over in 2017. The store is also the source of clothing and household goods for meeting the needs of clients.
Socorro Storehouse Food Pantry that since 2002 has sought to feed the hungry in Socorro County. This is done through the serving of meals every Thursday from noon to 2 p.m. and by providing boxes of food to an average of 200 families per month. Another way is to help with community gardens where healthy food can be grown. Epiphany is committed to keeping up the Storehouse’s stock of pinto beans.
