CATHOLIC CHARITIES WARMING CENTER THANKSGIVING EVE DONATION
Written by Ballzer on November 26, 2021
Catholic Charities Warming Center in Downtown La Crosse is one of the many programs that Catholic Charities offers. They house and feed 30-40 unsheltered individuals per night, November 1 – April 30.
With the help of our sponsors, Builders Flooring and Optical Fashions, Zcare was able to donate $500 to Catholic Charities to provide needed items the their clients.
We also teamed up with 95.7 The Rock’s Rock Foundation to provide supper on Thanksgiving Eve. Jesse and Bags from The Rock brought Subway Party Subs (and cookies!) for everyone staying at the Warming Center.
If your family or organization is interested in providing any meals for this season, reach out to the Warming Center to get on the schedule by phone: 608-519-8060. They are always accepting donations – currently looking for any and all donations (any toiletries, socks, underwear, clothing, etc) to help serve their guests! If you have any items for donation, they can be brought to the Warming Center, 413 South 3rd Street, in the evening hours (after 6:30pm). If these times do not work for you, please reach out to work something out together.
Catholic Charities has lots of other fantastic programs to help our community. Year round, has their St. Lawrence Community Services, including financial advisors and housing counseling. They also assist in Fostering and adoption services, and help for the holidays.
