Shelter THANK YOU St. Francis !!

YOU made this Shelter at St. Francis Gym possible from March 14–21, 2016 !!!

YOU 74 members (plus) of St. Francis community filled 151 slots providing practical services needed to support this effort for the Shelter Association's Rotating Homeless Shelter.  

Thank you to the drivers, over night hosts, evening snack providers, coordinators, and all who personally met these men, as well as, those who helped to provide personal care items for the shelter guests.

Special Thanks to Autumn Smith who served as our Main Overall Volunteer Coordinator for our host week at St. Francis.     And, thanks to Adriana Ham, some photos are shared here: 

We normally prepare to host approximately 25 homeless men from our community.   This year each evening we had fewer than 15 homeless men who stayed.  That is good news, because it means there was less of a need. 

Thanks to YOU all: Julie Allison-Conlin, Jane Antosiak, Margaret Applin-Martin, Maribeth Beatty, Herb Black, Sam Bogits, Sue Bright, Cynthia Carnevale, Kathy Ciesinski, Ben Coffman, Bob Conlin, Kevin Davenport, Patricia Davenport, Kurt Deutschmann, Patrice Deutschmann, Roy Deutschmann, Patti Dobbs, Jay Ellis, Patricia Empie, Catherine Anderson & Middle School YOUTH, Lori Ferris, Nick Ferris, Benjamin Ferris, Brian Fitzgerald, Amy Gottfried & Brownie Troop 40312, Dorothy Greca, Adriana Ham, Vicki Hatch, Jane Heibel, Karen Holeva, Steve Holodnick, Kathy Homiak, Marty Javornisky, Kee-Yong Jung & husband Yong-Woon, Chris Kempton, Eric Kratochwill, Donna Krukowski, Larry Lage, Emilie Lin, Molly Lobdell, Terry Maclean, Abby Michalec, Gwen Michalec, Tammy Michalec, Chris Mollo, Bruce Moln, Mary O'Brien, Joe Okros, Carl Opp, Sharon Ortisi, Barbara Pomey, Jim Pommerich, Liam Pommerich, Marianne Powell, Tom Powell, Ralph Powell, Enzo Randazzo & YOUTH, Ann Ridge, Thomas Ridge (and friends of the Ridge family: Arman Maqueem, Maki McQueem), Jim Ryder, Matthew Ryder, Dylan Ryder, Annie Scott, Ed Scott, Autumn Smith, Tony Sperendi, Chuck Stankovic, Eric Stepnitz, Laura Stubbs, Peter Stumpo, Kristen Stumpo, Mark Sturgis, Joe Targett, Matt Targett, Mary Tillotson, Victoria Turner, Ted Volz, Linda Wiseman, Jim Wiseman, Scott Wright, Gerald Wrubel, & Nate Zill.
