Homeless youth seek supplies
You can help support youth on their journey to thrive by donating items to Catholic Charities Services for Homeless Youth.

Call 320-229-6035 for a time to drop off items.
Donate extra produce to the food shelf
Donate your extra produce from your garden to your local food shelf. Favorites include carrots, beans, beets, kohlrabi, corn, potatoes, cabbage, peppers, onions and asparagus.
