Please help others while you do your spring cleaning! Every year in June, St. John’s conducts a Men’s Clothing Drive for St. Francis House, the largest day shelter in New England serving over 800 men and women on a daily basis. St. Francis House is the largest distributor of clothing to the poor and homeless in Greater Boston, distributing more than 750 changes of clothing every month. To help meet this ongoing need, we will be collecting men’s gently-used everyday clothing such as jeans, shirts, sweatshirts, and hats, as well as new socks for their Foot Clinic, which provides foot care and new socks to homeless clients. Donations may be dropped off over the weekend of June 15-16 in the garage (behind the church) any time during the day (until 5pm.) The St. Francis House Wish List includes:
