| Alumni Volunteer at St. Lawrence Haven |
Glenn, a friend of SLH joins alumni Marri McGouldrick Petrucci '82, Rita Iannarino Ficheria '63, Mike Rea '62, Joe Hill '63, and Phyllis Cautela '63 to prepare meals at St. Lawrence Haven.
On the morning of March 12th, BWHS alumni used their muscle and culinary skills to prepare over 650 meals for the clients of St. Lawrence Haven which is the St. Vincent DePaul-run sack lunch program. The Alumni Department would like to thank our alumni for donating their time and talents in our effort to provide meals to those in need. The staff at St. Lawrence Haven really appreciates our monthly endeavor.
St. Lawrence Haven sits behind Holy Cross Church at the corner of Rich and Main streets downtown. It is run by St. Vincent dePaul and serves 300 to 500 meals daily.
The Alumni Department takes a group of volunteers to St. Lawrence on the second Wednesday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you are interested in helping on April 9th, or at a future time, please email Terri Kernan at tkernan@cdeducation.org.
