This multi-denominational help center is located at 19 North 13th Street. Many Catholic individuals and families volunteer their services each week on Saturdays. Circle U tries to meet the needs of as many people as possible. A meal is served to anyone who wants one and once a month people can pick up a food basket. Circle U is open from 10-2, Monday through Saturday, for people to drop off donations. The center is always in need of money (to purchase food), food (non-perishable or in-season fruits and vegetables), and clothing.
