 Saint Monica's Helping Hands mission is to serve members of our parish family on a temporary basis during times of need or crisis. Services include:
  • Meals brought to the home for families suffering an illness or death in the family; Moms-to-be on bed rest; Shut-ins from old age or illness.
  • Transportation for the elderly, disabled or needy parishioners, to Mass or appointments when no family member can do it.
  • Small repairs, yard work or clean up in times of crisis such as a temporary disability on the part of the homeowner, or hurricanes, storm damage and the like.
  • Service for shut-ins or those suffering from illness; Light housework running errands, reading and visiting, baby care etc.
 

Helping Hands is a network of volunteers -- MEN AND WOMEN -- who are on-call to provide these services on an as needed basis.  We can also help those who need long-term support by putting them in touch with the appropriate community or social service organizations.
