    • Homeless?   Catholic Charities does not have a shelter as part of the programs provided; however, we do seek to provide comfort
      for those living on the streets by providing a backpack filled with personal supplies to help make living outdoors a little more bearable.
      Included in the many personal supplies found in the backpacks is a bottle of no-rinse shampoo that can be used
      without the need for water, and bath soap/washcloths for when a full bath is needed. 

      Below is a listing of food, laundry and shower facilities that can be found locally as well as
