Spring clean and help those in need!

Last week I took a tour of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of SF center programs that are critical to helping those in need. The programs are The Wellness Center, The Riley Center; Services for Survivors of Domestic Violence, Multi-Service Center (MSC) - South and the Vincentian Help Desk.  The tour was lead by Sister Katy O'Shea, Rommie Lucia and Anjali Verma Ruvalcaba.  They, in addition to the staff members and volunteers I met, are by far some of the most giving and selfless people I have ever encountered.  

I promised to spread the word so clean out those cabinets and closets!  Donate to a worthy cause--needed are:
  • Men's clothing (gently-used)
  • Shoes
  • Coats
  • Sweatshirts
  • Men's briefs (unused)
  • Socks (one size / L+ unused)
  • Dishes / glassware (NO wine glasses)
  • Pots / pans
  • Towels
  • Linens (especially full / twin)
  • Blankets / comforters (especially full / twin)
  • Silverware, utensils (NO chef's knives)

"The MULTI-SERVICE CENTER-SOUTH feeds and supports 410 homeless men and women every night and provides drop-in services to a minimum of 70 people each day."

"The VINCENTIAN HELP DESK provides basic necessities including clothing, toiletries  emergency food boxes, household items, furniture to those in need.  They also help job seekers wo cannot afford appropriate clothes for an interview."
