Volunteer with us! Help make burritos!

 


Hi friends, we need your helping making burritos to distribute to our friends on the street. Helpers are needed on Saturday mornings from about 10 AM till noon and can expect to chop veggies, roll burritos, and help do some dishes at our house of hospitality.

Not in the St. Louis area? Can't make it on Saturday mornings? Perhaps you're in a place to consider sponsoring burrito ingredients and bottled water which cost us about $75 each week. Gifts can be sent through venmo @STLCatholicWorker or via check made out to STL Catholic Worker Community and mailed to 8617 Mora Ln. St. Louis, MO 63147.

Other needs that precariously housed folks often ask us for and that you can bring us directly include: 

  • socks
  • bug spray
  • over the counter pain meds (ibuprofen, etc.)
  • lotion
  • body wash

Email us at StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com to sign up to volunteer, find a time to bring by donations, or with any other questions. Thanks for all your support!

I know someone with nowhere to stay.”  “I wish the Catholic Worker in St. Louis was up and running, I’m aware of a mother and daughter in need of housing for a few nights.”  Ever since we announced our plans to open a new Catholic Worker house in the St. Louis area we’ve received inquiries like these.   We live in a world where a handful of billionaires control as much wealth as 4 billion people and so people go without housing, without food and water, without healthcare. People die.  In our own city those without housing have slept on the very doorstep of city hall, until they were unceremoniously evicted. Our city government mirrors that of

We bought a house!

  The St. Louis Catholic Worker bought a house! After weeks of delay, we finally got the keys today! The building is big and beautiful, with a good yard for a Catholic Worker garden. It was built in 1904 and has a few imperfections (don't we all) but we'll be able to start moving in immediately as we make higher need repairs. We’ve been overwhelmed by all the love and support that our local support community and the broader Catholic Worker movement has shown us. Thanks to all those who have sent prayers and financial resources our way. Folks have been more generous than we could have imagined and we were able to put down a decent sized down payment. We hope support will continue as we begin having regular monthly bills, mortgage payments, and other expenses related to performing the works of mercy. We have already started collecting gently used household items to furnish the place (we own almost nothing.) You can check out this list of needs and let us know if you have anythin
