How
you can help
St.
Laurence Chapel gladly accepts any items that will help the homeless.
Here are some of the items they can use: canned food and drinks,
cereal, snacks, baking products, baby clothes and toys, men's and
women's clothing and shoes, household items such as washcloths,
towels and linens.
Currently the items most needed include: men's clothing (especially
big men's) such as t-shirts, shorts, etc., new socks and underwear
for men and women of all sizes, paper products such as toilet paper,
strong divided paper plates, forks, cups and, of course, canned
goods (especially pop top cans for the homeless who don't have can
openers).
Of course, financial donations are always needed and are greatly
appreciated.
Every gift helps!
