Mission and Outreach Support for St. Francis Center

As we all get used to this ‘new normal’ and spend much of our time sheltering at home, it is sometimes easy to forget the extra challenges that are faced by those in our community who have no shelter.  St. Francis Center, a longtime mission partner, continues to remain open 7 days a week to provide much needed services and a safe daytime place for those most vulnerable in our community.

The Mission and Outreach Committee is sponsoring a drive for specifically requested in-kind COVID-19 related items for the Center.  We will be in the church parking lot on Saturday, June 27 from 9:30-11am and will be accepting your donations.  We will be properly masked and can take the items out of your trunk for a totally contact-free delivery.  We will then deliver these items to the Center. The items most needed by St. Francis Center are:

Hair Gel, Cologne / After Shave, Men’s Shoes, Rubbing Alcohol, Peroxide, Sweatshirts for men, Men’s Underwear (medium and small), Men’s Work Boots, Men’s pants (38″ waist through 30″ waist), shampoo / conditioner (travel size and family size), hand and body lotion (travel size), Vaseline (best buy at Walmart), reading glasses (Dollar Tree), Postage Stamps are a real treasure.

If you have any questions, please contact Janice Woodward (Janice.L.Woodward@gmail.com) or Al Grinestaff (ajgrine8@comcast.net).  Thank you for your continuing to support those who are need in our community.
