What is the Mobile Response Vehicle or MRV?
One week each month, Catholic Charities has the use of a disaster relief vehicle (MRV), that they use to hand out items to those in need. Fr. John has asked parishes to take one weekend a year and collect items that are extremely helpful to the homeless.
Our collection weekend will be April 6 & 7. The items we are being asked to donate are ladies and men’s razors and shaving cream. A collection box will be placed at the front of the church and the Quesada Street entrance. On Monday the boxes will be picked up for distribution by the MRV on that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This is an easy way for all of us to actively participate in helping those in our community especially during this time of Lent.
