CARITAS
CARITAS 2011: February 12, 7pm - February 26, 8 am
For two weeks in February, Clover Hill will be partnering with the CARITAS organization to house around 40 guests in our facility. It takes a large group of volunteers to make these two weeks a memorable experience for our guests. This year we will have 40 women with us.
For every homeless person there’s a different reason why, a reason you might not imagine. The stereotype of the homeless as lazy, mentally ill or simply far-removed from our lives isn’t always accurate. The homeless include young, old, single, families, transients and the working poor. Fortunately, Richmond has the ability to provide emergency shelter for all those in crisis. Unlike larger urban areas, the problem of homelessness is not insurmountable here. CARITAS (Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter) is helping to ensure shelter for everyone in our community, no matter why they need it.
CARITAS is a church-wide effort. It takes many to make these two weeks comfortable for our guests. Should you have any questions, please complete our Question Form and someone will get back to you soon.
