a Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh program, is celebrating 42 years of serving the triangle community.  They provide emergency food assistance and, when possible, small children's clothing and baby items, such as formula and diapers. The 1Day4Him volunteers worked in the food storage area and assisted with stocking shelves, packing boxes, repackaging foods, sorting vegetables, or using carts to help clients take groceries to their cars.
