Service & Mission

 

CYACC volunteers support many organizations and projects throughout the year. If you would like to learn more or to get involved in a service project, contact the Core Team at cyacc1@gmail.com. Here are a few of the many opportunities available:

Good Works

Good Works is a Christian non-profit dedicated to repairing homes and restoring hope to low-income homeowners around Chester County. On Saturdays a few times a year, CYACC sends a volunteer team to participate in remodeling projects. Experience is not required and tools are provided. An all day commitment is requested for these build days.

Catholic Relief Services 

Catholic Relief Services is the primary international relief agency for Catholics in the United States. Once a year, CYACC joins forces with the Church of Saint Monica in Berwyn to host a large meal packing event called Helping Hands. At the event, hundreds of volunteers work together in an assembly line to pack tens of thousands of freeze dried meals which provide hunger relief in Burkina Faso.
