As temperatures drop, the crisis for the Long Island Refugees in Boston worsens.

Boston Religious Leaders for Long Island Refugees has secured a space for a temporary daytime warming center for the duration of the worst winter weather.

Boston Warm Day Center at Old South Church is planned to open next week, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, but funding and volunteers are still needed!

Please join us in this effort in the following ways: 

VOLUNTEER – The most critical need right now is for caring individuals to volunteer so that the shelter can open.

GIVE – Financial resources are in need to provide adequate staffing and supplies. Checks should be addressed to the City Mission Society of Boston, 14 Beacon Street #203 Boston MA 02108 with Boston Warm in the memo line.

PRAY – Please keep those affected by the shelter closure in your prayers.

SPREAD THE WORD – We appreciate your help in spreading the word of this important situation to people of faith in congregations throughout the city

Thank you for choosing to make a difference in the lives of people who are truly the less of these!
