Steadfast Neighbor Service Week
Fifth Annual Steadfast Neighbor
The week of June 17-21, 2024
Fifth Annual Steadfast Neighbor
The week of June 17-21, 2024
A few statistics on the 2024 Steadfast Neighbor Service Week:
131 The number of properties in our neighborhood that we reached out to for our annual Steadfast Neighbor mission work.
16 The number of properties we repaired. There are also twice as many Matching Grants in progress, a record amount.
31 The number of projects we performed on those 16 properties:
power washed 9 houses, painted 9 projects, including fences, decks, porches, railings, windowsills, doors, and our Little Pantry, construction projects at 7 properties, including repairing decks and fences, tightening stair railing, rerouting and extending some downspout tubing, cleaning gutters, installing gutter guards, and reframing and installing a new front door, landscape projects at 5 different houses, including removing overgrowth and tree trimming, and the project of the week was installing a brand new fence to enclose the back yard of our Habitat for Humanity family, the Caplers.
482 The sum of the heat indexes on the five days we worked. It was HOT!
5 The number of delicious lunches prepared by our outstanding kitchen crew.
50 Perhaps, our most important statistic: The number of ministry partners who volunteered their time, efforts, and true expertise this past week to continue the success of this endeavor and to benefit our neighbors. These people worked their tails off during one of the hottest June weeks in memory.
This is truly an incredible outreach which reflects the character of Westminster, and I’m honored to be a part of it.

When Westminster’s Strategic Planning initiative began to take form in 2019, the committee chose the name Steadfast Neighbor Endeavor because it articulates what we believe about God and affirms our commitment to the neighborhood. From 2020 to 2030 Westminster plans to invest $450,000 in the neighborhood which is one-third of the total cost of our Site and Landscape Plan.
