St. Mary’s Dining Room provides the following caring services to our
community’s homeless and working poor individuals and families. Our ability to provide this
care is made possible through the generosity of our community.
It is because of their financial
support, their gift of time through volunteerism and their donation of in-kind supplies and
materials that we are able to provide hope and dignity to the many men, women and children that
visit our campus each day.
