Highlands Bunker

This is our second part in a series about the homelessness crisis in Wilmington, recorded over the course of the winter storm in late January and early February. In this episode, we move from Christina Park to Saints Andrew and Matthew (SSAM) Episcopal Church, which has served as another one of the front lines for dealing with homelessness in the city.
We speak again to Patrick Burke, rector at SSAM, as well as Brenna, Dawn, and Jax of Food Not Bombs who have been helping staff the kitchens. We discuss the practical matters of feeding people during a winter emergency, preventing death and burnout, and what the issue of homelessness means in a broader spiritual sense.
