Volunteer at St. Lawrence Place


Ways to Give to St. Lawrence Place

Adopt-A-Home Program
Maintaining 28 homes for 28 families is not an inexpensive endeavor, especially when you consider 30-year-old buildings that have called St. Lawrence Place home, and the wear and tear is obvious.

The Adopt-A-Home Program is a way for companies and organizations across the Midlands to actively participate in a proven approach to the homeless situation. Your monetary donation will be applied towards the maintenance and upkeep of our 28 apartments.

By adopting a home at St. Lawrence Place, your company can directly improve the living conditions for our residents. Most importantly, your financial support in renovating and maintaining the apartments will help us continue our mission for years to come.

Monetary Donations
Beyond corporate gifts, St. Lawrence Place has a real need for individual donations.

Your tax-deductible donation will be used to provide housing and programs to the residents at St. Lawrence Place.

NEW! Now accepting donations online

In-kind Donations
Because the families at St. Lawrence Place have lost their homes, they no longer have the basic household items needed to furnish and maintain a home. St. Lawrence Place will gladly accept the following items:

New blankets, pillows, mattress covers, sheets and towels

Dressers, small kitchen tables and end tables
TV’s, VCR’s and DVD’s in working condition
Cleaning items, laundry products and paper goods
Personal hygiene items, diapers, etc.
To schedule a donation drop-off, please call St. Lawrence Place at 256-3999. St. Lawrence Place does not currently have a way of picking up donations.
