SAN FRANCISCO, CA December 18th, 2008 With December marking the highest one-week filing rate of unemployment claims in the last 26-years, and the temperature dropping daily, St. Anthonys is still stretching to meet the demand of those seeking food, warm clothing, and medical care.
To help meet the need, St. Anthonys is preparing for its 21st anniversary of St. Anthonys Curbside Holiday Drive. St. Anthony Foundation staff and volunteers, wearing easily identifiable red jackets, will take delivery of food, clothing, and monetary donations at curbside, so donors wont even have to leave their cars. Donated items are distributed free of charge to San Franciscos most needy residents.
Whether you drive a Lamborghini or a Toyota, donations are critical to meeting the need this holiday season. In November we served 15% more meals in our Dining Room than November of last year. We have 40% more people coming to our Free Medical Clinic than this time last year. And our Clothing Program has been unable to serve all the families that are coming to us for warm clothing, noted St. Anthony Foundation Executive Director Fr. John Hardin.
St. Anthony Foundations programs help heal individuals and families by providing a gateway for solutions to poverty, including a Dining Room which serves 2600 meals every day, a free Clothing and Housewares program, an Employment Program/ Technology Lab, Residential Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program, and a Free Medical Clinic. St. Anthony Foundation does not accept any federal, state, or local government money for its programs, and is entirely funded by private donations.
