SEAS hosts a homeless shelter here from Sunday to Sunday of Thanksgiving week. We provide for approximately 30 guests for seven days. Signup sheets are posted in the social hall beginning in early October.
The guests are given a place to sleep, eat, and enjoy activities provided by the generous gifts and talents of our parishioners. There are many positions available from drivers, food preparation, food delivery, entertainment, and night watch.

Sign-up for South Oakland Shelter (SOS) starts the weekend of October 14-15, 2017. We will be hosting the homeless at our parish November 19-26 (Thanksgiving week).
