Operation Nightwatch

Operation Nightwatch provides meals 365 nights a year, shelter, supportive housing, and street ministry to individuals living unhoused in Seattle. It grew out of the work of a pastor in the late 1960s to engage with people living on the street as equals deserving of dignity, and over the course of 50 years developed into an organization helping hundreds each year. There are opportunities for Saint Mark’s members to join a street ministry team, to help with meals at their dispatch center in the International District, or to volunteer with the Women’s Shelter currently housed at the cathedral. Additionally, there is an opportunity for healthcare workers to offer services in a free clinic each Monday.
