Siena Francis House relies on the generosity of caring members of our community to help us care for the hundreds of homeless men and women who seek our services every day. Below is our Daily Needs list of items we would appreciate receiving as a donation. You can drop off all donation items to the loading dock of our Emergency Shelter, accessible from the west side of 16th Street, less than a block north of Nicholas. The dock is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The courteous men staffing the dock will give you a receipt at the time you make your donation.
THE DONATION DOCK IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS, AS WELL AS THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, NEW YEAR'S DAY, MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY, GOOD FRIDAY, MEMORIAL DAY, 4TH OF JULY AND LABOR DAY.
