The first time Anthony visited Emergency Services Financial Assistance was four days after being released from incarceration. His main goal after release was finding gainful employment in the St. Cloud area. Catholic Charities was able to help him kickstart the next chapter of his life in several ways. First, Anthony needed his birth certificate from out of state. Once he received the documents, we were then able to help him obtain a valid Minnesota ID. He was also encouraged by our program coordinator to connect with a Catholic Charities caseworker to help him navigate his reentry into the community including finding employment and an apartment. When Anthony was hired to work at a lumberyard, our program helped him purchase the necessary steel toe work boots. Our Emergency Services Food Shelf and Basic Everyday Essentials programs also helped him get food, bedding, clothing, and kitchen cookware and utensils for his new apartment. Anthony was extremely grateful for our program's help and the opportunity to forge a new beginning for himself.

Together we can plant enough love to create a garden of belonging in our community.
