The following programs and services are offered in their Community Service programs: food pantry, clothes closet, holiday food box, legal clinic, spiritual care, health care, and eyeglass clinic. There are social workers available to access and coordinate services. In their Open-Door Ministry, clients can use showers, laundry facilities, get a haircut or assistance to obtain a birth certificate or ID as well as help getting a driver’s license restored.
Half of the donations for the month, cash or check, will go to Capuchin Community Services. Checks should include STP on the memo line. On our website. www.ucnorth.org you can donate using PayPal. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
