Providing Clothing
The Samaritan Center at the Catholic Charities of Tompkins/Tioga (Ithaca office at 324 W Buffalo Street) provides emergency financial assistance, free clothing and personal care items, and guidance and referrals to families and individuals in need. Thousands of people are served each year.
The Samaritan Center requires significant help with sorting donations. This can be a low-commitment, high-impact opportunity to serve. Even if you can only come once or twice, your contribution would be valued.

Kids' Faith Formation
Matthew and Lizzy Hall teach religious education to children ages 4 to 11 at Mary, Mother of Mercy parish (Ovid/Interlaken/Trumansburg). WE NEED HELP to corral a pack of lovely, energetic children of mixed needs. Come help hand on the faith!
The commitment is once a month on the second Saturday at St. Francis Solanus Church in Interlaken, NY 4:00–7:00 PM. There is a Vigil Mass with Children's Liturgy of the Word, followed by a children's lesson/project and potluck supper. We can arrange rides to and from campus. Even if you can come just once, you can make a big impact on a child!
Whether you can help only once or recurrently, you can make a difference!
Please email Lizzy ([email protected]) with questions or to volunteer.
