Saturday of Service: Ozanam Center Food and Clothing Distribution

Site Details: The Father Michael Wittman Ozanam Center at Chambers Empowerment Center in East Cleveland provides access to food and clothing to those in need. The Center is open every Saturday and relies solely on the help of volunteers.

Service Details: Volunteers are needed to register and check in and out clients, sort and hang clothing, pack grocery bags, and offer hospitality. The project may include lifting bags and/or boxes and standing on your feet for the duration of the service.

When + Where: Registered volunteers will meet at the CCEL office at 9:00 a.m. and return to campus by 12:30 p.m. Transportation is provided to the site in a CCEL van driven by a CCEL Student Leader.
