St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center

St. Joe's Neighborhood Center provides health care for individuals and families who do not have health insurance, public assistance or any other means to pay for basic health needs. Staffed by many volunteers and professionals as well as regional medical students, the Center is a warm and welcoming refuge located at 417 South Avenue in the city. There are two events sponsored by St. Joe's coming up:

THIS SATURDAY, April 14th, the UR Well students who run our Tuesday night medical clinic are sponsoring a fund raiser for this program. Starting at 10 a.m. on April 14th, you could participate in a 5K run OR WALK or you could be with your children on the 1K Kids' Fun Run. Registration fees are $15 and $10, respectively ($20 race-day registration). Some of our staff will be walking in the 5K event. You can learn more about it and register on line at www.urwell.org Free T-shirts will be given to the first 300 registered participants.

SATURDAY, MAY 19th will be the City-sponsored Clean Sweep morning clean-up for Southeast Rochester. We would like to make it a "Clean Sweep at the Center" morning as well. 8:30 am, meet at East High School, get your free T-shirt and be assigned to come work on one of our projects (which will most likely be litter pick-up around the building and along South Avenue and landscaping/beautification projects on the Center property). We work from 9-Noon and at noon meet up again for a celebration picnic (or maybe we'll have our own right here in the back yard). For more information, visit www.cityofrochester.gov or call 428-5990. Gloves will be provided by the city, but plan on bringing your own tools if you have them. This is the first of what we hope will be semi-annual All-Center clean-up days! Let me know if you have any question
