Volunteer
You will receive far more than you give when you volunteer with Catholic Charities, where a wide variety of opportunities are available. You can organize donations, help at garden sites, shop with clients at our choice food pantry, or choose from many other options. You are welcome to volunteer once or on a regular basis. Please note that some volunteer opportunities require Safe Environment Training and a background check.
Email cclvolunteer@archlou.org for more information.
Schools
Local schools are some of our most faithful and appreciated partners in serving people in need, both giving to and receiving from Catholic Charities. Your school can organize donation drives for us, collecting canned goods or winter coats, for example, and also volunteer with our programs. And we’re always so pleased to contribute to your school by providing guest speakers on topics that range from refugee resettlement to urban gardening to Catholic Social Teaching.
Contact Peyton Rhea for more information.
Parish
Your parishioners can find new ways to live out their faith in collaboration with Catholic Charities. Your teams can partner with us to welcome families resettling here as refugees or provide ongoing support to moms in need. You can support donation drives, volunteer, and regularly pray for our work. We’re honored to also contribute to your parish by sharing the expertise we’ve gained through serving. We’re happy to provide guest speakers and to collaborate with you on your goals.
Contact Peyton Rhea for more information.
