Austin Street Center

Transforming lives of those experiencing housing insecurity through innovative programs while providing the basic needs of food and shelter.

Each month parishioners at Saint Michael prepare and serve food for 450 people experiencing homelessness staying at Austin Street Center. On the first Tuesday of each month, 10 parishioners cook and prepare a full-course homemade meatloaf dinner. On Wednesday, the food is delivered to the shelter and later that day, another 15 parishioners serve the dinner.
