MCREST is a transitional shelter which provides homeless and displaced individuals the opportunity for successful transition to independence. MCREST started out as a one day “day camp” for the homeless in 1988. With the success of that endeavor, it grew into overnight shelters with 12 churches participating. MCREST has since grown from those 12 churches into over 70 churches now participating.
St. Isidore will be hosting Sunday, August 20 – Sunday, August 27. We are asking the parishioners of St. Therese of Lisieux to consider volunteering during the week and/or consider donating some of the needed items below. We’ve made signing up easy by either going to the website: stisidore.church/mcrest or you can fill out a form in the Gathering Space and drop it in the dedicated box.
The items needed for the men staying with us are listed below. Please place donations in the bin located in the gathering space at St. Therese of Lisieux,
- Tube socks
- Underwear
- T-Shirts
