Providence House Wish Baskets
St. Charles is helping Providence House welcome special needs and low-income tenants to much-needed safe, affordable, permanent, and supportive housing. In the back of the church are examples of bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen basket kits for these tenants. Each basket has wish tags that describe necessities that are needed to fill these baskets. Please take a tag and purchase one or more of these items. The Outreach Committee prays that parishioners will generously help provide what is needed to help set up their homes.
