Hello St. Louis Catholic Worker Friends! we’re excited to be starting up our first “official” and recurring works of mercy project as a group and we need your help! Our plan is to begin distributing water and hot food to folks living on the street as well as any other in kind items folks (like you) donate to the cause. We plan to start humbly with hopeful openness that such efforts might be expanded if there is enthusiasm from this extended StLCW community of support. In addition to sharing supplies, we’re also looking for folks who would be willing to volunteer their time and maybe even their vehicle to go around with one or more of us for the actual distribution.

If you’re able to help in these ways please email us at StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com. We hope to support other needs of folks
