Oct 2021- DMCW Beg List

[Frank Cordaro]

   I want to take this opportunity first to thank each of you for your support of the Catholic Worker House. Without you, we would have little to do, little to share, and little to give. Together with you, we are open five days a week giving out 100+ hot meals a day along with hygiene supplies, clothes, and winter gear. Twice a week we give out groceries. Every day, we open our yard up for our neighbors to relax in a safe environment where healing friendships can happen for us all. Our donors are an integral part of that.

   Second, I want to ask you for help. Our supplies have been dwindling, and we have been unable to give items to our guests as a result. Our guests are feeling the absence of hoodies/coats, socks, and bar soap the most, but everything on the list below is needed.
