The Warehouse partners with churches in and around the city, including some peri-urban areas such as Paarl and Worcestor. Whilst being initiated by an Anglican Parish, we work with any Christian church who has a heart to see the community in which they serve transformed in an holistic way, showing the love of God to the suffering in sustainable and developmentally sound ways.

A city of great contrasts, Cape Town is known for its natural beauty, and attracts people from around the globe all year round. What many people do not see or know, both visitors and locals alike, is the deep chasm between the resourced and economically poor in the city and surrounds. The city is home to thousands of church communities, many of whom are eager to see this gap narrow.
-
The communities in which The Warehouse programmes work have all been affected by the history of apartheid in our nation -- whether well resourced or disadvantaged. A core part of the vision is to see churches partnering together, and serving eachother in the building of the nation. The Warehouse is strategically placed between wealthy and poor communities, in a semi-industrial area called Wetton.

The Warehouse was established in 2003 by the Anglican Parish of St John's, Wynberg as a conduit to serve and help the South African church network, primarily in the Western Cape metropolitan area, in addressing poverty and injustice effectively. Today we partner with around eighty churches in a variety of ways, from all denominations and affiliations.
-
The team is made up of around 25 part or full-time people from all backgrounds, with a variety of skill sets that complement the broader body. Significant time is invested in building this community as more than a work 'place' but a team committed to seeing communities transformed, lives changed (including our own) and bridges built in a divided society.
-
Care for Kids has worked with 25 churches from different communities in supporting thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children. The re-alignment to our vision and subsequent altered strategy of The Warehouse has meant we are in the process of the churches taking over the running of their programmes. By August 2013, Care for Kids in its current format will no longer exist, but we will continue to serve churches in this area.
-
The Fusion team works with youth in areas dominated by gangs, by establishing praying communities of young people who seek to transform their own lives and communities. Fusion has developed a replicable model that equips churches to more effectively help in the restoration of high-risk youth.
-
An informal settlement that faces some of the worst social ills that are rooted in poverty, Sweet Home Farm is a community that The Warehouse serves through youth work, a senior citizens club, HIV/Aids support groups and a creche. This work has culminated in a church plant lead by a dedicated community worker and priest who has worked in the community for years.

Siyaphila
Siyaphila means 'we are well'.Support groups for women are facilitated, looking to address issues of loss and trauma they deal with in townships. Women who pour themselves into caring for others are offered few opportunities to care for themselves. The groups are based in churches but are offered to any women in the local community who feel they would benefit from such an experience. Word of mouth invitations are extended to potential attendees and there is no formal recruitment process. Resiliance, meaning reconstruction,working with a reasonable hope, and use of the therapeutic narratives of women's lives are part of the program.
-
If you give money to The Warehouse, you can specify whether you would like it to go towards the running of the organisation or towards any specific need we are aware of through our partnerships and programmes. There numerous ways to support the work we do, from buying love packs that feed orphaned children to funding entire programmes to keep doing what they do in the communities.

Treasures
• Ensure that all items, whether clothing, household items or toys are newly washed, smell fresh and are not stained, torn, chipped or blemished
• Donate items in a well-packaged, attractive condition: folded or well stacked and protected in sturdy cardboard boxes or see-through plastic bags (avoid using black refuse bags) and if possible, pre-sorted and labelled into genders, sizes and ages
• If an item is in generally good shape but has something that needs fixing (e.g. a button sewn on, a hem cleaned up or toy fixed) please spend the time doing this before giving the item
• Consider buying additional gifts such as brand new underwear to accompany clothing
• If you would like to spend money, contact the organisation you are planning to give through to find out what current needs are, especially during disaster relief. The Warehouse and churches will also have this information on websites during specific responses
• Ensure that you donate seasonally appropriate items: this may mean that you go through your cupboards at the beginning of each season and donate what can be used immediately, or if you have items for a different season, store them until the correct season
• Ask yourself these questions: Would I give this to someone I love? Would I be blessed to receive this? Does this give someone the message that they are made in God’s image?
Please see the insert regarding what Urban Gleaning at The Warehouse is able to help you distribute, and our website during disaster responses.

• When seeking to give time, consider how much and how often- this will help those to whom you are offering it, know best how to use your gift
• If you have committed to a specific time, honor the commitment or make sure you advise if you will not be there- those you are helping may be counting on your presence
• Be up front about what you are able and willing to do during the time you are giving
• Be willing to do the less glamorous work when you give time. You may be very keen to contact with the people you want to serve but contact with vulnerable people, especially children, often needs to be reserved for those who are able to work with them on a more full time basis- your offer of time could be used to support the full time workers
• See if there is anyone who would want to join you- it is always more fun doing things together and they may be looking for a way of getting involved
-
• Closely linked with giving your time, you may have a specific talent that you know could be of use to others e.g. tutoring school learners, plumbing, computer skills, counselling
• Consider how many hours you are able to give of this skill per month before offering it
• Find out what community outreach relationships your church is involved with and offer your skill to one of these if appropriate
• You are welcome to contact The Warehouse for advice
