Saint Ann's Cares Volunteers
Our
St. Ann's Cares Day is May 7th. We have three sites at which we really
need your help. They are:
- St. Francis Hospital Lead Safe House, where families
stay while their permanent residence is undergoing lead abatement;
- Catholic Charities Migration & Refugee Services,
which is expanding services into the space formerly occupied by the
Catholic Bookstore;
- St. Augustine's School, which serves (mostly poor)
children in the south end of Hartford.
We need all skill levels. Click HERE

We FEED You, and It's FUN!
St. Ann's Cares is a branch of the Social Justice Committee of St. Ann's
Church. It was founded in 1993 as part of the Americares Homefront Project,
and became its own entity in 2002. Its mission is simple: to provide a
"safer, warmer, drier" living environment for the less fortunate.
Toward that goal, St. Ann’s Cares has managed an army of volunteers
for a "day of caring" designed to build, upgrade, renovate,
and beautify housing for thousands of people over the years. Group homes,
shelters, and even private dwellings have benefited from the skills and
generosity of our parishioners. |
