Good Shepherd Ministry
A request is being made for donations of warm clothing to support those in need in the Downtown Eastside. Everyone is encouraged to check their closets for extra socks, mittens, toques, and scarves, as these items are desperately needed—many individuals do not even have winter coats.
While our Knights have been asked previously, we are reaching out to our wider community. Donations are greatly appreciated, and gratitude is extended to those who have already contributed.
Any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Sproviero at
