Motel Box Ministry
For the 11th year CCASTA is participating in a Motel Box Drive to support our local homeless. Motel Boxes are provided to homeless families in our area who are housed at local motels when the Grassroots shelter is full. Grassroots currently has no boxes available so the need is great. Extra donations will be shared between CCASTA’s outreach program and/or SWES.
The list of requested items can be found by clicking the link below. All food should be dropped off in the back parking lot at St. Augustine’s, 5976 Old Washington Road in Elkridge, on Saturday, April 26, between 9-10am. If you have questions please contact Kathleen Arvin at 443-538-8775 (call/text) or by email at [email protected]. Please click the following link to sign up to donate.

Gently Used Clothing and Bedding Collection
CCASTA Outreach will be collecting items to support a free used exchange at Ducketts Lane Elementary School on Saturday, May 3. We ask that the items donated be in clean, good condition. Our greatest needs are children’s clothing and men’s clothing.
Items Needed:
Gently used clothing: towels – linens – bedding
New Personal Care: Soap – toothbrushes – diapers – wipes
Please place your donated items in the bin at the St. John Newman house between April 20 and May 2. We will also be collecting these items on Saturday, April 26 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on the St. Augustine back parking lot. We invite you to communicate this even to anyone who may need extra help, this is open to our entire church community.
We are in need of volunteers to help with this event, particularly Spanish-speaking. If interested, please contact Dawn Weglein at 410-796-0972 or [email protected] or Robin King at 410-419-7461 or [email protected]
