Description

For more than 100 years, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Des Moines has been committed to transforming lives through service. Our mission - Family-centered serviced that Empower Individuals and Strengthen Families - reflects our deep belief in the inherent dignity of every person. 

For this Day of Action opportunity, volunteers will put together "Blessings Bags" that can be give to clients. These bags will include hygiene items, a tumbler, hygiene items, a snack, and information about community resources.

Volunteers will hear a short presentation about Catholic Charities and the Community Resource Coordination program at the beginning of our time together.
