Home for Families 

School Supplies Collection

The Social Concerns Committee is assisting in the collection of school supplies for The Dowd Education Center of Home for Families (previously the Homeless Families Foundation).

St. Alban’s will assist in collecting school supplies for HFF programs. This collection will be from July 17 through September11. A collection box for supplies and a list of supplies is located in the St. Alban's Living Room.
