What Stek, voor stad en kerk does

Stek, voor stad en kerk (legal name: Stek, stichting voor stad en kerk) is a Dutch non-profit foundation headquartered at Parkstraat 32 in The Hague, Netherlands, founded in 2004 and operating under the governance of the Protestantse Diaconie Den Haag. The foundation supports people affected by poverty, loneliness, and injustice in The Hague through approximately 20 community programs, including food assistance (Kies! Voedselbankwinkel, Babybullenbank), financial counseling (Budgetmaatjes070, Inloopspreekuur), refugee and undocumented-migrant support (Wereldhuis), youth and children's services (JONG, Kinderwinkel, School van Barmhartigheid, School van Verwondering), survivor-of-exploitation mentorship (2GO), and neighborhood community houses (Bethel, De Paardenberg, Buurt & Lukas, Shalom, Haagse Hout, De Halte).

The foundation delivers services free or at nominal cost (e.g., €5 vegetarian meals, €1 sewing lessons, €3.50 neighborhood meals) through six physical community locations across The Hague neighborhoods, plus walk-in clinics and event-based activities. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is fundamentally human-led by 78 staff and a documented base of 125+ volunteers. Distribution is purely community-based, reaching vulnerable beneficiaries through neighborhood projects, open houses, walk-in clinics, and word-of-mouth referrals.

Stek's revenue model is donation-driven, supported by the Protestantse Diaconie and charitable contributions, rather than commercial fees. The organization markets primarily through its website (stekdenhaag.nl), newsletters, and organic social media, focused on volunteer recruitment and community engagement. Strategic partnerships with Bergkerk and Maranathakerk extend cultural programming at the Bethel location, while governance and fundraising are tied to the parent Diacony body.
