RGENT NEED     THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED - WORK IS COMING ALONG 
Dear Friends & Supporters,
Recently we closed our Lazarus House which housed 35 men.  After 25 years it was in need of a thorough cleaning and necessary maintenance.  It was our intention to reopen on November 1st so that our residents and the hundreds who use it as a day time warming shelter would be protected during the upcoming winter.
Unfortunately, it was found that the furnace would not make it through another winter. We need to replace it before we can reopen.  We desperately need to raise the $10,000 the replacement will require.
You have all been so generous in the past & we are very grateful.  We come to you again & pray that you will help.
Donations can be made by:
  • using the donate or PayPal button on our website.  Please put FURNACE in the note.
  • Mailing a check to St Luke’s Mission of Mercy, PO Box 448, Buffalo, NY 14215. Please put FURNACE in the memo area
  • Drop off your donation to the Mission office (side door of the Church building), 325 Walden Ave, Buffalo, NY 14211 Monday–Friday 11am-3pm.
Thank you so much for your support & prayers.  May God bless you abundantly.
*The warmth of your hearts can keep folks warm for years to come*
