Our Mission:
Serve Those in Crisis and to Prevent Homelessness and Hunger.
Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service is the largest social service provider for individuals, families, and children in the Tri-county area of St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren.
Our motto is… “planting the seed of hope, breaking the chain of despair.”
The Care Service works with a purpose to protect families, especially children, the elderly, and disabled, regardless of race, age, gender, or religion from the despair, hopelessness, and social injustice caused by poverty. Our vision: Safe and affordable housing is a fundamental human right, and we envision a community where not one person spends a night without food or shelter.
Food Pantry Hours:
Beginning on June 15, 2021 we will welcome our Food Pantry clients back inside our Client Choice Food Pantry. Food Pantry hours are Tuesdays 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and Thursdays 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm.
Call 636-441-1302 if you are in need of food and are not a currently registered Food Pantry client. This will allow us to assist you quickly and have the correct amount of food ready for distribution.
