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 thanks you all for your generous donations especially for men's briefs and boxers, men's jeans, hoodies, blankets and sneakers (even sizes 13, 14 or larger!) Thank you for filling up our clothing bin with warm clothing for men and women! If you shop at Market Basket please save the plastic bags for us and add them into the bin. Our friends thank you through us for coming to see them with all that you've given us! You are the ones that light up their days and nights with sandwiches, clothes, shoes and blankets. You are the ones that make it possible to give some needed relief to their daily lives. And mostly, thank you for your prayers for their health & well being as they live, day by day, on the streets of Boston. If you prefer to make a donation online, please go to: SaintJosephMedway.org/Donations. 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!
