Brothers Keeper  is an outreach ministry of Saint Charles that provides assistance to the community at large. Bags of groceries are given out on a weekly basis. Volunteers sort and sell donated clothes and household items in the store located at 4353 Edgewater Drive right next to Pizza Hut in the Subway Plaza.

Location of Brothers Keeper

This outreach ministry has been of great assistance to those less fortunate and, with your help, it will continue to do so. Brothers Keeper is in need of more volunteers to assist in sorting, stacking and pricing items and checking out at the register. If you are interested and are able to give just an hour or two a week, please call the parish office 407-293-9556. The pantry shelves are once again low and need to be restocked; your donations of non-perishable foods and personal hygiene items will be greatly appreciated.

The thrift store has been receiving collectible items that have some value. If you or someone you know has expertise/knowledge of collectibles and would be willing to give a little time, please call Barbara at Brothers Keeper, 407/849-0735.

Please continue to be generous by donating non-perishable foods and toiletry items to the Food Pantry at Brothers Keeper. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We also offer furniture pick-up service, however we will only pick up once a week. All pick ups are done on Wednesdays and must be scheduled by the previous Monday. Please contact Barbara and leave your information 407-849-0735.
