Community Outreach

The Saint Clare Community Outreach is comprised of parish volunteers who are committed to providing temporary assistance to parishioners and local residents in need.  The ministry networks with our cluster parish  Saint Paschal Baylon.  If you need help, you can reach the parish Outreach line by leaving a message at (440) 449-4242.  When prompted for your party's 3-digit extension, press 161.  A volunteer will return your call.  Please be assured that your call will be held in complete confidence.

To volunteer for this rewarding ministry, please contact the parish Business Office at 440-449-4242, Ext. 101.

Saint Clare's Community Outreach program response is time-sensitive but not for immediate aid.
                        Thank you for your understanding.

Here are 3 StreetCard resources that can help those whose need is immediate:

Homeless StreetCard

Family StreetCard

Veterans StreetCard

The StreetCards are provided by the Northeast Ohio Coalition For The Homeless
