Back to School Donations
 

It is almost "BACK TO SCHOOL" time. This year, when buying school supplies for your children, please remember to also buy something for our guests staying at the Catholic Charities Men's Hostel. All of our guests need socks and underwear - sizes medium to extra-large. Some guests may actually be going back to school themselves. Others will be going back to work. And still more to recovery programs or to more permanent and stable social or supportive housing. We thank you for your generosity supporting this ministry.
