The Bylas Community Food Project

All Saints Episcopal Church in Safford has reached out to the Bylas community, a community on the San Carlos Apache Reservation, for many years by bringing food boxes at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  These food boxes give the people receiving them not only food for a holiday dinner but also staples for the weeks afterwards.  The members have always recognized the need to do more and have looked for resources. This year through the assistance of the Jubilee Ministry of the Episcopal Church USA, the Native American Ministry Program of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, First United Methodist Church of Safford, Sts Philips and James in Morenci, St. Stephen’s in Sierra Vista, Christ the King in Tucson, St. Philips in the Hills in Tucson, and All Saints in Phoenix, All Saints with the help of the other churches delivered almost one-hundred food boxes to Bylas over Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Melinda Weisser-Lee (Mindy as she is known to the Bylas community) coordinated this outreach with the San Carlos community health representatives in Bylas. Any food that was not used for the boxes was donated to CHAPS Ministry, a local ministry to the homeless, for their food boxes.

All Saints’ priest, the Rev. Dr. Eugenia M. Durham, who received her Doctorate in Congregational Development in May, 2006, from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, has long encouraged the members of All Saints to be involved in outreach. 

With her support, All Saints was recognized by the Episcopal Church, USA and named a Jubilee Center. The Jubilee Ministry was established by the national church in 1982 to assist churches around the USA in developing outreach ministries.  Jubilee comes from the injunction in the Bible (Leviticus 25, beginning at verse 10) for jubilee years to restore to the poor their property. Today there are Jubilee Centers around the world as well as in the United States.
