BAKE SALE & FLEA MARKET FOR ST. FRANCIS HOUSE

The North End Friends of St. Francis House will hold our 6th annual Bake Sale and Flea Market on Friday March 19th and Saturday March 20th at the Nazzaro Community Center at 30 North Bennet St.  The event will go from 8am to 6pm on Friday and 10am to 2pm on Sat.  We will have all kinds of homemade baked goods and wonderful pastries and cookies from all of the bakeries and pastry shops in the neighborhood.   We will also have Mary Romano’s world famous eggplant sandwiches, meatball and sausage sandwiches.

We will also have tons of great flea market items for you to buy.  We will also be collecting spare change.  No amount is too small (or too big).  If you would like to send in a donation, make checks payable to St. Francis House and mail to John Romano 247 Burlington Avenue, Wilmington, Mass. 01887.  All of the proceeds we raise those two days and collect ahead of time will be matched by an anonymous donor, so your donation counts twice as much as you give.  For more information call John Romano at (617) 880-9901 or e-mail at patjr@comcast.net.

Piccoli Regali Resumes at Old North Church

Piccoli Regali, a program to assist anyone with a food need in the North End, has the resources at present to increase the number we serve and are trying to reach out to those in the community to notify them of this resource.

Piccoli Regali, or “Little Gifts,” has begun distributing small bags of food items to people in need in the North End.  Those in need are encouraged to come to the Clough House, 21 Unity Street (behind the Old North Church), between 10:00AM and 1:00PM on Saturdays.

Jim Ring, Director of Piccoli Regali, started the program last Fall with the intention of helping to feed our neighbors who cannot get to a public meal program on weekends.  Piccoli Regali regularly helps 25-30 people nearby to the church.  The program is open to all, and is sponsored by the congregation of Old North Church, and volunteers from the community.  The program will run on Saturdays, though the end of April.

For more information, or to contribute to this effort, please call Debbie, the parish administrator at (617) 523-6676.
