Our Alumni Department provides monthly service to St. Lawrence Haven, the sack lunch program run by St. Vincent DePaul. Volunteers provide much needed sandwiches, fruit, drinks, chips, and treats for the patrons of St. Lawrence Haven.
Our deliveries have been overwhelming, thanks to the amazing support and generosity of our group. The need continues to be great and we would love your help.
During November and December, we also collected toys to enable parents to "shop" for their children.
If you would like to become involved, please email Terri Kernan at tkernan@cdeducation.org.
