Paul's Place depends on the generosity of our in-kind donors to provide our essential programs and services. Volunteer cooks prepare casseroles we serve in our daily Hot Lunch program. Dozens of organizations and hundreds of individuals contribute gently-used clothing and other household items for distribution through our Clothing Bank.
