About the Do Small Things Together Material Drive:

In honor of St. Teresa of Calcutta’s Feast Day on September 5th, Catholic Charities invites you to support local charities by donating small essentials that make a big difference for our most vulnerable neighbors. Items will be distributed to local participating charities.

From Aug. 29- Sept. 6, you can drop off new items in Catholic Charities’ blue donation barrels at participating churches.
