The Boston Homeless Ministry began over thirty years ago as an outreach effort in Framingham. For the last fifteen years, this much needed ministry has been based at Saint Joseph Parish in Medway.  It is an ecumenical effort involving volunteers from Saint. Joseph's Church, Medway, Saint Thomas the Apostle Church, Millis, Saint Mary's Church, Holliston, The First Baptist Church, Holliston, and the Community Church, Medway.
   The Boston Homeless Ministry is seeing more and more of our women friends! As a result, we are looking for women's summer tops, shorts, and slacks. In addition, men's summer shorts, briefs, and ball caps are needed as well as sneakers for both men & women. Our friends are deeply grateful for your donations and prayers that make a world of difference to them each Monday night. Those pairs of shoes, conversation and prayers for their own well being are huge lights in their lives. Thank you for your prayers for our friends who live on the streets of Boston. Clothing donations may be placed in the clothing bin from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Father Mara Hall or Mon.-Thurs. from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Parish Center foyer.
    Volunteers gather on Monday evenings at Saint Joseph Church parking lot and head to Tremont Street on the Boston Common where they distribute sandwiches, bottled water, clothes, new underwear, new socks, shoes, coats, blankets, towels, toiletries, winter coats, scarves, mittens and boots to those who gather to greet them. Volunteers are continually humbled by the gratitude shown by their homeless friends, who enjoy the ordinary chit-chat and personal connection offered by the volunteers. These non-judgmental conversations, during which participants recognize the face of Christ in each other, are as important as the items volunteers distribute and a cornerstone of this ministry.
    We so appreciate all our returning sandwich makers! The Boston Homeless Ministry is indebted to the volunteers who make sandwiches each week and to all who fill our donation bin, located in Fr. Mara Hall at Saint Joseph Church and the Parish Center.
     If you would like to make sandwiches on a weekly, bi-monthly or "on-call" basis, please call Wayne & Sheila Marshall at 508-735-4346 or email tesseractsam@yahoo.com. To make a donation online click here.
     Thank you again for all your donations and prayers for our friends that live on the streets of Boston. God Bless You All!
