Aaron Richards was struggling when he first encountered the Center for Hope in Flint. At the time, he remembers asking himself, “Where could I get my next meal? Where could I grab personal items?”
Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties was the answer for Aaron, as it is for so many other people who struggle to make ends meet. The Center for Hope campus offers food, clothing and guidance for those in need in the community of Flint. Aaron, a lifelong resident of Flint, is now a volunteer at the Center for Hope, but not so long ago he was a person in need who came to the right place.
Aaron has also been able to get help with his daily struggles and frustrations by talking with Deacon Ken Preiss, the chaplain at the Center for Hope. Catholic Charities and the Center for Hope counseling programs are supported by your Diocesan Services Appeal dollars. Thank you! God bless you!
