St. C.’s Community Migrant Closet

February 1 update: Closing Plans Underway, No Donations Accepted

St Christopher’s will close the closet at the end of February 2024. We will donate our remaining inventory to other new arrival organizations, primarily St. Edmunds. We thank everyone who has supported this project through donations, purchases, or volunteer hours. We estimate we have served more than 350 individuals and provided supplies for other shelters, mutual aid teams, and faith-based organizations from early November to mid-February.

Please join us on Saturday, March 9, from 2-4 p.m., at St. Christopher’s for an open house thanking volunteers and other friends of the project.

Help our neighbors transition to more permanent housing and stability by donating to the Resettlement Task Force.
