FRIENDS OF ST. ANDREW HOSPITALITY CENTER
CONTINUES TO SEEK VOLUNTEERS
We have positions open on Fridays in the kitchen (cooking, serving food). We also have two positions open on Tuesdays for the food pantry (packing food baskets, unloading deliveries, etc.) We ask that volunteers commit to consistently be available (with the exception of
vacations and illnesses) each week on their day from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
If the Spirit moves you to step-up for the poor and homeless, please contact Sarah Norton at 303-344-9306.
IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR FRIENDS OF ST. ANDREW HOSPITALITY CENTER'S ANNUAL SUMMER CLOSURE FOR CLEANING AND REFURBISHING
This year, we will be closed from Monday, June 14 through Friday, July 9 to clean and refurbish the center.
During the closure, we will be cleaning, re-organizing, having a new linoleum floor installed (funded by volunteer donations), and receiving a new commercial freezer (funded by a grant from the State of Colorado).
We are happy to continue to receive your donations during the closure.
God bless

History:
Friends of Saint Andrew began as the brainchild of a small group of Queen of Peace parishioners and the Pastor sometime during the fall of 1986. Initially, this group saw the need for homeless persons to have a place to get in out of the elements, have a cup of coffee and a pastry and have access to newspapers for job hunting; they decided to lend a helping hand by creating our parish outreach ministry.After a few short years, this vision blossomed into much more than its humble beginnings. We now serve the poor and homeless of Aurora by providing hot lunches (about 150 each day), food baskets, toiletries, prescription assistance, school supplies, infant layettes, small household items, Christmas stockings and gifts, Easter baskets, Thanksgiving meal baskets, and referrals to other agencies who can fill needs that we aren’t able to address.Come down any Monday through Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. and visit! We know you’ll be impressed by the wonderful things your parish outreach mission can accomplish in the lives of those who are less fortunate!
All of the work we do at Saint Andrew’s draws its inspiration from the words of Jesus Christ: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink…” (Mt. 25:35)
