About Holy Family House
Holy Family House, a Catholic Worker Community:
We attempt to live simply, nonviolently, and in solidarity with our poor neighbors in the Catholic Worker tradition. Our purpose is to open our home in order to live out the process of actualizing the Works of Mercy and the Works of Justice, offering our lives and our home as resistance to cultural norms that advocate human and material waste.
What we do:
- Serve 150-200 meals daily, six nights a week to people looking for food, warmth, recognition.
- Serve a simple breakfast of PB & J, toast, donuts, and coffee four mornings a week.
- Offer clothing vouchers, assistance with prescriptions, drop-in space for telephone and bathroom, provide referrals and resources to community services agencies.
- Host approx. three families in our shelter for homeless families.
- Build relationships with neighboring agencies, work together to build community in the Troost Corridor.
- Host student groups, faith communities, and other seekers who wish to learn about justice, poverty, and our common call to action.
