CARITAS
CARITAS stands for Churches Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter. CARITAS provides the homeless with emergency shelter and case management services in order to assist with transitioning to a more stable lifestyle and housing. There are three emergency shelter programs that accommodate families, single men, and women. Over the course of one year 3,000-5,000 people in Richmond and surrounding areas experience a crisis that results in homelessness. It is estimated that 500-700 of these people are children. Approximately 170 congregations in Richmond and the surrounding areas support the CARITAS program. New Song members can support hosting congregations. You can help through your prayers and contributions. Some of the specific ways to assist are: bringing in needed items, preparing a dinner dish, packing lunch bags.
