Mercy on Woodward: How Catholic Charities is making a real difference (VIDEO)

DETROIT — At the Center for the Works of Mercy, kind-hearted volunteers are making a tangible difference every day.

Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan’s newest service location on Woodward Avenue in Midtown Detroit includes a food pantry, clothing closet, dental and medical clinic, and a host of services to those down on their luck, seeking help or simply in need of a listening ear.

Detroit Catholic’s video crew spoke to volunteers, clients and guests during a recent visit to learn why these services are so needed in Detroit — and how the center is making Christ’s love the center of everything it does.
