CARITAS helps our most vulnerable neighbors break the cycles of addiction and homelessness to reclaim their dignity. CARITAS has four programs — The Emergency Shelter, The Furniture Bank, The Healing Place, and CARITAS Works — that provide a pathway from crisis to stability for families in the Richmond area.
RRCB is hosting a collection drive April 14-15, 2018. The main focus of the drive is furniture and other household basics. Please bring your donations during the designated times above and volunteers will be available to help you.
You can help fill a newly acquired home with basic necessities for victims of natural disaster, domestic violence, poverty, and mental and physical disabilities. Your donations go DIRECTLY to those in need! Your previously loved items will find new life in the home of a local family.
If you have any further questions, please contact Chris Macturk (804-426-7590 or macturk91@gmail.com).

Additional volunteers are needed to help with Home Pick-up on Saturday. It will be helpful to have two people per vehicle, so you may sign up as a driver with your personal truck, SUV, or van, or you can sign up as a helper and ride as the passenger. The number of volunteers needed will be determined by the number of home pick up requests.
If you can Volunteer, at the church or as a driver, click here to fill out the sign-up form.
Home Pick-up:
If you have items you would like to donate, but need some assistance, you may sign up for Home Pick-up. We are only offering pick-ups on Saturday.
