THANK YOU for the Shelter at Alpha House!

Thank You for the Shelter at Alpha House!

Some families who are facing a housing crisis are blessed to temporarily reside at Interfaith Hospitality Network Alpha House while seeking to resettle into a home place of their own.

St. Francis Of Assisi parishioners host, each year, two weeks of providing for the meals and activities.  During one week there are about 180 meals provided, 7 evenings of playtime, at least 3 baskets full of extra weekly personal products and grocery supplies, and hundreds of prayers for the families and the success of our week of service.   The families are very appreciative of the generosity from our St Francis community. A special thank you to our coordinator, Mark Sturgis !!  What a blessing and generous !! 

Thank you also to all of the many volunteers who have participated in this biannual service project. On behalf of St. Francis, I want to thank you for your service.  ....

(Since Mark will not be available to coordinate, our next week of shelter September 20-26, 2021, we are now beginning a search for a new coordinator for those two weeks of hosting Alpha House.   Would you have any nominations or recommendations of people who might be well suited or interested?)  

Thank you!     https://www.signupgenius.com/go/shelter
