🧼 April Hygiene Drive — Helping Our Community Feel Better, Inside & Out

Each month, we host a focused drive to meet the most urgent needs of the children and families in our care.
These items reflect what we need most right now.

In Matthew 25:40, we are reminded: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these… you did for me.”

Join us—give what you can and help restore dignity, comfort, and hope.

We’re so excited to bring Pack the Purse back! 👜💕
A heartfelt thank you to Mission of Hope for helping us get this off to such a strong start. Because of support like this, we’re able to begin filling these bags with items that bring dignity, confidence, and care to the women we serve.

This is just the beginning—and we can’t wait to see our community come together to make each purse something truly meaningful. 💗
All donations are needed by 5/8/26.

Please reach out to Ashley at 319-362-9041 or cwh3193629041@outlook.com with any questions or to donate.

 “The Gospel takes away our right forever to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.” – Dorothy Day

  

Our Amazon Wish List is more than just a list—it’s a living, real-time reflection of what our shelter needs most. As new needs arise, they are added, ensuring that what you see is exactly what is needed right now.

From everyday essentials like air filters to items that bring comfort, activity, and joy, each need listed helps us care for the children and families who call Catholic Worker House home. This is also a meaningful way to support our kids—bringing smiles, creating moments of joy, and reminding them they are seen and loved. And with summer not far off, these small moments of joy matter more than ever.

Amazon may not be where you choose to shop—and that’s okay. This list simply serves as a guide, a window into our current needs. However you choose to give, you are helping us meet real, immediate needs and create a space filled with care, comfort, and hope.
