Food Drive for the Catherine McAuley Center/Bring to the Spring Picnic
The Catherine McAuley Center provides immigration and refugee services and educational services for adult learners. They also have a transitional housing program for women in need.
In March, Iowa lost 11.3 million dollars in Federal food support including TEFAP, the program that allowed the Center to purchase food at a reduced cost from HACAP. 83% of the food received from HACAP last year came from this program.
Let's help stock the shelves at the Catherine McAuley Center!
