As the area’s homeless population seeks during this crisis, Siena Francis House is now serving more meals and providing more shelter.

The shelter is asking for more in-kind donation items, which can be dropped off to the loading dock of the Emergency Shelter, accessible from the west side of 16th Street, just north of Nicholas Street.

The dock is open 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. Donations can also be made online at sienafrancis.org.
