About the St. James Cathedral Drop-In
Funds raised at this event will go toward supporting the St. James Cathedral Friday afternoon Drop-In program. Now in its 34th year, the Cathedral’s Friday afternoon program provides a safe and warm place for members of our community who are experiencing food insecurity to have a hot meal and socialize with friends. We serve over 7,000 meals each year. The Drop-In also subsidizes a FoodShare/Good Food Box program and, in association with other community partners, a much-needed Foot Care Clinic. Our Chiropodist completed more than 1,600 appointments last year alone.
