Within our larger Community Winter Boots Urgently Needed There is an immediate need for men's winter boots at Siloam Mission. While dropping off our parish donations, it was observed that many clients of Siloam were wearing thin shoes as they stood outside in the meal line. This is not acceptable given our current temperatures. Please bring boots and whatever winter items you can spare. The box at the back of the church is emptied weekly. Remember to involve your children, as this is an important lesson in giving to those less fortunate. Thank you and bless you.
