The Catherine McAuley House
Plymouth, PA
The Catherine McAuley House provides temporary shelter for women and children in crisis and assists them in their search for safe, affordable, and permanent housing.
While at the McAuley House, our group weeded the front lawn and garden, cleaned the porches and windows, disinfected children's toys, and installed window-unit air conditioners. The group also donated three baskets full of household goods to the residents of the House!
