Daily Needs List

The Siena/Francis House relies on the generosity of caring members of our community to help us care for the hundreds of homeless men, women and children who seek our services every day. Below is our Daily Needs list of items we would appreciate receiving as a donation. You can drop off all donation items to the loading dock of our Siena/Francis House Baright Shelter, located at 1111 North 17th Street. The loading dock is open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. every day of the year. The courteous men staffing the dock – all of whom are in our shelter’s job training program – will give you a receipt at the time you make your donation.
