Saint's Place (St. Louis Church) assists legal refugees starting their first home in Rochester. The people we assist are starting from scratch. They arrive with only a few personal belongings. Saint’s Place also has a large Educational Initiative that awards scholarships, computers, payment for vocational training, tool grants and other ways to advance a person’s education. We feel obtaining a higher education is important in helping a family rise out of poverty.
In January, Saint's Place will be relocating to Saint John of Rochester, 10 Wickford Way, Fairport, NY 14450. At that time, we will be accepting donations of clothing and household items at this address.
