MU helps McAuley House The Misericordia University Community Service Committee collected almost $1,000 from the campus as part of the annual «Catherine McAuley House's Adopt-A-Family program. The Catherine McAuley House in Plymouth is a temporary 30- day residence sponsored by the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Dal- las for homeless women and their children. The shelter provides programs and supportive servic- es to assist women seeking per- manent safe housing. Since it was established in 1989, the center has helped more than 2,000 wom- en and children. The community service com- mittee adopted a family of five that is currently living at the tem- porary shelter. The center gave Misericordia’s shoppers the age, sex and size of each family mem- ber and also a holiday wish list. Committee members collected donations, shopped for presents and wrapped the gifts, which were then delivered to the center. Misericordia collected $974 and purchased essentials for the home, like towel sets for each family member, glasses and other necessities. Committee mem- bers also purchased books, clothes, sleds, jackets, hats, gloves and toys the children placed on their holiday gift list. The remaining money was used to purchase a gift card for the family at a local grocery store.
