Code Blue

COVID Impact

As you can see in the picture, Code Blue cots are set up in the only available space on site - the Mission Kitchen. Due to the unprecedented 300% increase for food, St. Luke's can not use the Mission Kitchen for Code Blue.
Our commitment to Code Blue will be different this year. We will provide 2 meals per Code Blue night to a location opened by our Code Blue Partner, volunteers for staff and other support. 

Your donation is critical as we receive no money from the government to provide Code Blue services.

For 13 years, we have sheltered those in need during the cold winter months. Your gift will go to help those in need! 

We are part of the Buffalo Code Blue Collaborative and through an outreach process, we work together to aid in van transportation for those who are stranded on the streets of Buffalo so they can be brought to a shelter such as the Mission. Our goal is to make sure no one is exposed to the freezing temperatures that can lead to hypothermia and death.
​St. Luke's receives no money from the government for the Code Blue program that we run. 
​Please support our efforts by:

• donating online or by mail
• Items for donation: Men's sweatshirts, t shirts, socks, blankets, sheets and small-size personal hygiene products. 

WHAT DOES CODE BLUE NEED?

• YOU! - We need volunteers to do this important work. Are you a night owl? Or an early riser? Or someone with a few free evenings? There's something for everyone. If you can help, call Drew Bernstein at 716.838.0155.
• GIFTS ARE NICE... - If you can't give of your time, give from your treasure. You'd be surprised what it takes to care for our guests. Biggest needs?
  • H.E. style laundry detergent
  • men's socks, sweatpants and boots
  • decaf coffee, eggs, & other breakfast foods
  • deodorant, soap and men's toiletries
• ...SO IS CASH. - Your financial support helps us buy items like those above, as well as do everything from serving the meals to washing the bedding to handing out the morning bus tokens. Plus little things like keeping the lights & heat on!
• PRAY! - All things are possible through Christ, so please keep us in your prayers.

​GOD BLESS YOU
