Community Service Corps

CSC to Help Poor in Nicaragua

The St. Joseph's Prep Community Service Corps, in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and Food for the Poor, Inc., is working to raise $50,000 to help build homes and reestablish communities in Nicaragua. Ten years ago, dozens of families in the community lost their homes to devastating mudslides and have been living in conditions unimaginable to many of us.

At present, the first village of 60 homes is almost complete. Prep seniors Patrick Kelly and Christopher Lally and science teacher Ms. Barbara Brown were among 25 people from the Archdiocese to visit to area and witness the good work being done.

A village of 30 homes will be named St. Joseph's Prep Village in gratitude for the community's support.

Anyone interested in helping this cause, please contact Ms. Brown at bbrown@sjprep.org. Checks should be made to St. Joseph's Prep and sent to Ms. Brown’s attention and then the collected donation will be made to Food to the Poor.
