How You Can Help 

St. Clare Inn is funded solely by generous donations from the Franciscan Friars and individuals in our community. To continue to provide essential services for our group of vulnerable women, we must reach out for your support. Any financial donation, or donation of time, volunteering or a skill will be appreciated and put to good use immediately to help our guests recover and re-build their lives.

How to Make a Difference:

Volunteer:
The women of St. Clare Inn can be supported in many ways, especially if you have time to:

• Teach a fitness class
• Go for a walk
  
• Help with a haircut
  
• Help with make-up
  
• Help with a cooking lesson
  
• Help with a craft or sewing lesson

Because St. Clare Inn is an older 2-story house, it continually needs care and updating: Perhaps you have skills in:

• Home renovation
  
• Lawn care
  
• Snow removal
  
• Eavestrough cleaning
  
• Window washing
  
• Plumbing
  
• Electrical
