Meadow Homes — Members of the St. Joseph Catholic Church Brothers And Sisters In Christ Youth Group, under the direction of Youth Leader Ryan Chase, volunteered in the warehouse at St. Vincent de Paul.

Fourteen high school students volunteered Feb. 12, sorting and displaying clothing to give away at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, sorting cookies in the food room and organizing the book wall.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides food to more than 4,000 people each month and clothing to approximately 1,500 people, on average, according to a release from the organization. St. Vincent de Paul currently has about 75 active volunteers who give almost 1,200 hours per month volunteering with the organization.
