2nd Aug 2021- Des Moines Catholic Worker beg list

[Frank Cordaro]

*** In addition, four catholic workers have left since our last beg list, so the workload has ramped up for us who are left. We would love some volunteers to help with weekend shifts (especially Sundays) and meals. Also, we are looking for new workers. If you know anyone who is interested in volunteering or being a live-in worker, we would love to hear from you. All must be vaccinated!
