El Hogar Santovenia (Santovenia Home for the elderly)  located in the Cerro neighborhood in Havana has been under the care of the Hermanitas de Ancianos Desamparados (Little Sisters of  the homeless elderly) who have been in Cuba without interruption for over 130 years.

The Home has two locations, the larger one has 350 elderly who live there and 150 that come for breakfast and lunch every day, and the second site, St Teresa Jornet Home located about a mile away has 130 live in and 100 that come for the meals.

The Sisters have asked for our help getting shoes for the around 500 elderly that they take care of. They need everyday shoes, preferably with velcro closures and comfortable. The sizes needed are men's 8-13 and women's 7-10; all of them Wide.

Drop off after Masses on the weekend of June 26-27 or at the parish office by June 30.
