Each year St. Catherine collects donations to support local agencies during special occasions.
During July/August, we collect Back to School items for local charities that help youth start back to school. During November and December, we collect "wish lists" for several local agencies for Christmas. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this ministry by sorting and delivering items! -

The center, open 365 days per year, provides services to anyone in need, including those experiencing homelessness, poverty, substance abuse disorder, and other crises.
The drop-in center is building a community of people who are overcoming homelessness through relationships, housing, employment, education, and sobriety in response to God's love for all.Peace House is an intentional community made up of two families, the DeWaeles (Jen and Mike, and their daughters: Clara and Alice) and the Mechtenberg-Berrigans (Molly and Jerry, and their kids: Amos, Jonah, and Leah). These two families have been friends since the mid-1990s and have spent a lot of time working for peace and justice. In 2006, they came together in Eastside Kalamazoo, with the purpose of doing something beneficial for that community. It took a little time to figure out what that beneficial thing would be, and a lot of work and preparation to make it happen (and having babies and young children didn’t speed up the process any!), but in 2009, Peace House finally opened its doors. Physically, Peace House is two houses, side by side, that share a big backyard. During the school year, they bring kids inside to be together and work on their schoolwork. In the summer, Peace House becomes the ultimate day camp! Peace House believes that everyone deserves a world that is peaceful, caring, and just. They also believe that this peaceful world will never come about without a lot of concerted effort. People need to speak out for peace and justice wherever they can, and they need to work to create peace and justice in their own neighborhoods.
The Rickman House provides housing to low-income adults who have special needs. The support staff is on-site 24 hours a day. -
