Each year as fall approaches Saint Agnes transforms its parish hall into a Winter Homeless Shelter known in our community as "John’s Place".
We open our doors each Tuesday evening to 30-40 people who need a warm place to sleep with hot showers, meals, and clothing from November through April. We provide dinner, dessert, breakfast and a brown bag lunch to go. All guests are welcome with respect and kindness regardless of situation, origin, background or religion. Our volunteers are there to talk, listen, or simply be in the company of our guests so they don’t feel alone and remind them that God loves us all.
As we begin thinking of the fall, we ask that you consider joining our mission. A volunteer meeting will be held at the parish hall on Thursday, October 5th at 6:00 PM. We encourage you to invite a friend and join us.
We are also in need of donations. Casual fall/winter clothing and footwear for adults is needed as well as face clothes and bath towels. Donations can be arranged with the St. Agnes parish office at 631-477-0048.
The John's Place season officially begins Tuesday, November 7th. If anyone is interested in volunteering, please contact Kim Musi at kmusi04@yahoo.com for more information. Opportunities are available to help prepare the hall, cook meals, help the guests, and clean up.
