Code Purple Ministry

Code Purple Ministry, Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew, Wilmington, Delaware Every winter, SsAM offers its auditorium space to accommodate the homeless community on nights the city declares a Code Purple Alert. This year is different!

Code Purple is declared any time the actual temperature is 20°F or below or the wind chill is 15ºF or below. Click here to see how Code Purple is being handled during the pandemic.
