Thank you to the 99 local high school students who participated in SERVE 2010 and gave 4,441 hours volunteering with Catholic Charities.  Look for information for SERVE 2011 in January 2011.

“Meeting the kids and seeing their smiles every morning made my day.  It gave me something productive to do with my life and I loved every second of it.”
