Lenten Clothing Collection FoSB volunteer opportunity

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Gabe Parsons from Rockne Ave who works for the Boston Public Health Commission alerted FoSB
to a current need for clothing donations for the homeless in our city.

FoSB is partnering with the Irish Pastoral Centre and Boston Public Health Commission
to organize a Clothing Collection these next several weeks during Lent (see image below for details).

We are looking for some more volunteers (young and old) to help us get the word out!
 -assist in a parish-wide handout distribution to launch the Lenten Clothing Collection and
inform about next month’s Gathering for Good St B 90th Anniversary Gala

(even just helping with one side of a street can make a big difference 🙂

Come to Father Lane Hall Monday, March 3rd at 6pm

If you are unable to make it Monday, but still want to help (or have questions)
contact John Parsons or email info@friendsofsaintbrendan.org
