Fraternity on the Streets celebrates one year of service with us!
Fraternity on the Streets (FOTS) recently came out to our St. Joseph Clubhouse to celebrate their one-year anniversary of dedicated volunteer service with us.
The event was blessed with beautiful weather and an atmosphere of fellowship, drawing approximately 75 guests, including Clubhouse members, residents from our emergency shelters and housing programs, and residents from Rose Mary’s Place.
FOTS volunteers graciously prepared and served grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, while also distributing clothing, hygiene bags, and other essential items to guests. The afternoon offered a meaningful opportunity for connection, reflection, and gratitude, underscoring the spirit of service that defines both organizations.
Since first partnering with Magnificat Houses at Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen, FOTS has continued its outreach, now serving regularly at Rose Mary’s Place, where members provide meals and household items twice each month. Their consistency and compassion have made a tangible impact on the lives of those we serve.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Fraternity on the Streets for their unwavering commitment and for exemplifying the power of community through service. We look forward to many more years of partnership in our shared mission to uplift and support those in need.
