Friday Helpers Needed! We have received a donation of bathroom partitions from State Farm. They need picked up on Friday, December 18th – Tomorrow at 1pm. We need at least 2 volunteers to help pick them up at State Farm and bring them back to St. Francis and unload them. We have a box truck, so we just need manpower!

We are still looking for 3 or 4 volunteers for bathroom demolition. This work has to happen Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Both of these projects count towards your fund generating volunteer hours. Please call Christy at 345-9874 ext 224 if you can help with either of these two projects.
