Help Support St. Francis House

Dear Editor,

 Over the last 15 years, The North End Friends of St. Francis House have raised over $230,000 for St. Francis House’s programs and services through our annual Flea Market and Bake Sale, which we were unable to do this year because of unforeseen circumstances. This year, we want to join together as a community and make an even bigger impact by collecting donations to commemorate St. Francis House’s 35th Anniversary – 35 years of rebuilding lives. We are asking you to join us in supporting St. Francis House’s All The Way Home Fundraiser.

Each year, we were able to reach our goal of raising $20,000 thanks to the support and generosity of Olivia’s boss Jim Barry and his wife Sheila. They would match what we raised, filling in any short fall of the first $10,000.

Not surprisingly, Jim and Sheila Barry are being honored this year at All The Way Home by St. Francis House for their lifetime support of and generosity towards the organization for over 30 years.

I hope you will join us in commemorating the work St. Francis House does every day to provide stability and to remove barriers for those experiencing homelessness and poverty in Boston. Through generous contributions to St. Francis House, thousands of men and women have achieved greater self-sufficiency as well as more fulfilling and stable lives.

You can make your donation before Wednesday, October 23, 2019 either online at www.stfrancishouse.org/northendfriends or by check (made out to St. Francis House”) mailed to:                                               Olivia Scimeca

21 Cleveland Place

Boston, MA 02113

Thank you so much your consideration – we appreciate your support.
