Lazarus Day Center

Lazarus Day Center

The Lazarus Day Center serves older homeless men in Seattle. Each month volunteers at Holy Innocents gather on the 19th of the month to make 200 sandwiches. They make ham and cheese sandwiches and sometimes a few salmon sandwiches.

On the 20th of the month, a parish volunteer picks up the sandwiches and drives them into Seattle. Sometimes we add some extra cakes or pastries the Food Pantry gleaners give us.

At Christmas time, we have collected personal hygiene and toiletry items, warm socks and hats, and put them in shoe boxes to give to the men at the Lazarus Center.
