Dear Reverend Deane:

I would like to express my appreciation for your efforts on behalf of the homeless men and women who come to St. Francis House for assistance. While we can address the physical needs of our guests, we need support from clergy in the area to minister to their spiritual needs. Your participation in our program, through your worship and bible study and your food program in Lynch Park, makes a significant impact in the lives of people who are oftentimes forgotten and ignored by people in a position to help them. That you take the time and energy to minister to them is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Roberta Rhea
Interim Executive Director
