How Can I
Help?
Helping our residents return to self-sufficiency in the
community requires the combined efforts of a de dicated
staff and motivated volunteers. We need your time and talents to help our
residents reach their goals. At right, South Point student, Houston Barnette,
puts some finishing touches on a mural he painted for the nursery at Catherine's
House.
Volunteers are a special part of our program. They
exemplify community spirit and concern. They also bring a different perspective
to the program and enhance the lives of our residents.
Catherine's House welcomes you as a volunteer. Call and
ask to speak with Sister Mary Carmelita Hagan, Volunteer Coordinator & Facility
Manager at Catherine's House! You can reach her at 704 825 9599.
 You
can help by answering phones and doors, babysitting, transporting residents,
housecleaning, gardening, tutoring, facilitating educational or recreational
activities for the children, mentoring, assisting with mailings or conducting
workshops. At left, a volunteer takes time out from babysitting to pose for a
