This support includes providing groceries on a weekly basis to 50-75 families, meals for people experiencing homelessness at Hilda Barg Shelter and Bill Mehr Drop-in Shelter, financial support, and educational support.
PLL started teaming up with Francia Salguero, the Director of St. Francis House, in 2016. Brother Jeffrey Allen, a former PLL Basileus and member of St. Francis of Assisi Church, has always led this effort. In addition to the turkeys, PLL has also donated canned goods and school supplies in the past.
