Volunteer

         Catholic Charities has volunteer opportunities on both a one-time and continuing basis.  We have needs for continuing volunteers to help with clerical, fundraising, mentoring, and thrift center activities.  One-time activities include helping with food and clothing drives, and building and property maintenance.
