IHM’s Service Saturdays group supports local outreach organizations while offering opportunities for you to positively impact our community. One Saturday a month a service project is arranged at a charity in need. We plan as often as possible to arrange tasks suitable for all ages, families, etc. This is a great chance to learn about local charities, expose your family to service work in a safe environment, and to use your talents to help improve our city. This is also an excellent way for students to fulfill their middle school or high school service hour requirements.

What we learned at our January Service Saturday Outreach project:

We learned a great deal about their initiatives and spent a couple of hours helping sort goods, providing general cleaning, and packing “birthday bags” for their clients.  We had a great turnout and thankyou to all that were there today!

Outreach is charitable organization that assists young adults (14-25) that are homeless.  They provide a safe and welcoming environment for their clients and help them get on their feet.  Last year they helped 767 people get ID’s, medications, insurance, clothing, food, do laundry, etc.  They are typically in need of clothing, men’s underwear, young adult books, board games, and Tide pods.  A full list of needs is listed on their website.  Outreach also serves 2 meals a day for their clients.  If you have a group that would like to assist with Friday lunches, they typically have a need.
