Thank You!

This past Friday we celebrated our now retired Administrative Director, Gerri Sheets-Howard. We thank her for seventeen years of loyal service to Capuchin Community Services. The community at large, came together to bestow blessings upon her and to wish her all the best in the next leg of her walk with God. It was a beautiful day!

A Dinner to Remember

Some years ago the St Ben’s Meal Program (now Capuchin Community Services) partnered with Heartland Alliance to construct a new apartment building with over thirty units of affordable housing for especially vulnerable members of our community. Were it not for the “Capuchin Apartments” as the building was officially named, many of the current residents would undoubtedly be homeless. Since the beginning, St Ben’s has organized different groups from throughout the community to provide a monthly meal for any of the residents wanting to gather and eat in the building’s common room. The most recent sponsor was a Boy Scout troop from the city, who arrived with approximately ten members and four leaders.
