NASHUA – Nashua Catholic Regional Junior High School Campus Ministry collected food and personal care items for the annual Harbor Homes Project Homeless Connect held recently.

After delivering the items, many of the students volunteered to help Harbor Homes set up for the event, which is open to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in order for them to receive products and services that address health, legal and employment issues.

“This event that our students assist with each year is a great opportunity for them to help others,” said Nashua Catholic theology teacher Debra Matson-Champagne, OFS.

“Through this simple activity, we help our students perform a corporal work of mercy as they show compassion for others and attempt to alleviate another’s misfortune.”
