OVERNIGHT SHELTER
St. Martin de Porres will once again feed the homeless at the cold weather shelters at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Central Presbyterian on the following evenings (all Mondays) November 14, December 5, January 2, February 6, and March 5. There are three ways to help: prepare food (we provide recipes), serve the food at the shelters (only requires about 3 hours, usually home between 8:30 & 9:00 PM), stay overnight until 6:30 am (safe atmosphere with private sleeping quarters). We have the most difficulty finding overnight volunteers, but it is really easy duty. We break the night up into watches, and since guests sleep between 9 PM and 5:30 am, there is plenty of quiet time to catch up on reading, paperwork, etc. The more volunteers we have, the more sleep we get! We try to carpool from St. Andrew and leave by 5:15, or you can meet us downtown at the shelter. Eileen (Helena) Nelson will once again be coordinating the volunteers. Thanks Eileen!

We currently are in need of people for the following time slot: Tuesday 2:00-3:00pm Friday 6:00-7:00pm
