Monetary support by way of checks made out to Mobile Loaves and Fishes and delivered to the Community Ministry Office.
An ecumenical ministry that provides sack dinners, beverages, toiletries and clothing items to the Homeless on the streets of Austin. The St. Catherine Team goes out every 3 rd Saturday morning. Volunteers can serve on the Make Ready Team by making sandwiches and getting the truck ready or they can serve on the Truck Team which delivers the food and other items to the homeless and working poor around Austin. Many families are involved, as their children can easily participate. The Make Ready Team is great for families.
