FLASHLIGHTS for the HOMELESS 
    Light is often taken for granted.  When it gets dark, we simply fip a switch and enjoy the illumination that a lamp or fixture provides for us.  We can continue reading, writing, or working on a project.  We feel a sense of security knowing that the lights are on.  However, when it gets dark out on the streets or in wooded areas where homeless folks live, darkness lasts until the sun rises again.   

Hand crank powered or solar powered flashlights are so helpful in many ways. They provide light without the need for batteries. Most cost less than $20. Please consider donating the gift of light to a vulnerable person in our city. Case workers who serve folks in isolated areas will deliver the flashlights to those who are most in need. Please purchase and drop off in the Outreach Area or make a donation to cover the cost. Speak with Annie Doyle to help, or share a question.

    You Can Help to Prevent Homelessness by using “Hope for Housing cards” to buy your weekly groceries. You receive the full value of the a card in the amount you choose. The stores (Stop & Shop, CVS, Panera, and more) donate up to 5% of that amount to “Hope for Housing” to assist children with families in crisis.

  Cards are sold after Masses and special arrangements are available. Call Dave and Sue Genereux at 508-829-5776 or email them WaysideATQ@aol.com for more information.
