Prior to the pandemic, our Alumni Department provided service at St. Lawrence Haven on the second Wednesday of each month. St. Lawrence Haven is a sack lunch program run by St. Vincent DePaul. Meals are provided Monday through Friday and the need continues to be great. In lieu of our volunteers going to St. Lawrence Haven during this pandemic, our volunteer crew has been providing sandwiches, fruit, drinks, and treats for the patrons of St. Lawrence Haven twice per month.
If you would like to participate next time, please email Terri Kernan at tkernan@cdeducation.org.
