About this service
The program was established after a group of students befriended a homeless man who had frequented the area near the school. Within a couple of weeks the relationship between the Students and the homeless man, he unfortunately died. This impacted the Students deeply and with Sr. Susan they began discussing what they could do to alleviate homelessness. The plan was simply that the faith group volunteers would open their doors one day a week for a period of approximately 23 weeks as well as provide food and hospitality to the homeless which are considered Patrons of the program. Today there are 19 different programs all with the same simple purpose: to provide food and hospitality for those who need it most.
We gather every Tuesday from 8:45am 1:00pm. The doors open for patrons at 9:00am, and stay open until 12:00pm. In addition to breakfast and lunch, our patrons enjoy a warm sense of hospitality, and respite from the weather conditions.
