How To Help

The Care Service is an organization that thrives due to the support of our community, which is demonstrated by nearly 100,000 hours of volunteer assistance received each year both internally and from the greater community.
In addition to volunteer assistance, the Care Service would not be able to deliver our programs and services to thousands without the generous monetary gifts from individuals, businesses, churches, civic groups and other organizations. By partnering with the Care Service, you are providing hope to the many individuals and families in crisis and great need in our area.

Making a Difference

Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service is the primary provider of programs for individuals, families and children in the tri-county area of St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren that addresses short-term and long-term homelessness and hunger issues. Services are available for those who earn at or below 50% of the area median income.

We offer comprehensive case management and wrap around services that connect those in need with many community partners. Together, we work to stabilize and move them toward self-reliance.

The Care Service is heavily supported by the community with more than 100,000 volunteer hours per year in addition to donations of material, labor, food and monetary contributions.

Your Donation Makes a Difference! Thank you for your support.

Other Ways You Can Help

There are many ways that you can help us help them. Through Financial Contributions, Material Donations, Volunteering and even by shopping!

Financial Contributions

Financial contributions are important for client assistance and for daily operations which keep our programs running, and enable us to to deliver the highest level of services to the most people possible.

There are lots of ways your contributions help us to deliver services to our clients. While we receive grants and other funds for direct services to our clients, operational funds and funds for other critical needs or emergencies are more difficult to come by. While you can specify if you would like to donate to a particular program, unrestricted donations provide us with more flexibility to serve clients by addressing the greatest immediate needs regardless of the source of funding. Whether you make an unrestricted contribution or specify a restricted use, we are grateful for your support. Click here to make a donation. You can also mail your check to us at 4116 McClay Road, St. Charles, MO 63304, or stop by and visit us in person. If you have questions about making a donation, please call us at (636) 441-1302, ext. 263 or email us at info@jacares.org.

Material Donations

Volunteer

Since 1981, the Care Service has built strong ties with the community and relies heavily on this collaboration to carry out our mission. In addition to monetary support and in-kind contributions, we regularly receive volunteer service from local businesses, churches, schools, health providers, civic organizations and individuals and families in the community. Our volunteers alone dedicate over 100,000 hours of their time each year.

We also partner with many agencies and community resources to fill the gaps of service that are necessary to help clients reach sustainability. Without the efforts of the entire community, we would not be able to successfully assist thousands each year with services to help them overcome their crises.

Not only do these partnerships bring people together and contribute to the overall health of our local communities by preventing homelessness today, they also impact systemic change for the future.
