For veterans and others experiencing homelessness, clothing and accessories are not only protection against the elements, but a way to preserve dignity. Something as simple as a new scarf, pair of gloves, or hat can increase people’s confidence and encourage them to keep going in a difficult situation.
Volunteers are integral to Catholic Charities’ mission. Whether they’re serving meals at the Christine Stamper Center for Help & Hope or handing out gifts to families in need during Emergency Santa, their passion brings smiles to the faces of the most vulnerable.
