Catholic Charities disperse across Texoma for a Day of Service
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Properties are cleaner, and veterans are enjoying their newly built ramps after this year's Catholic Charities Day of Service. Groups gathered at Vernon College before dispersing around Texoma for various cleanup jobs and building projects. Each year the list of jobs is always different, whether they come from city councilors or other non-profits. Two of the biggest projects of the day were a cleanup of an Eastside property, organized by councilor Robert Brooks, and the construction of a wheelchair ramp at a home in Archer City. Catholic Charities' operations manager, Laura Sotelo, said they find the jobs just about everywhere. 'We always seem like we get requests to build ramps for folks. And so, this year we've been able to partner with a group that does that on a regular basis. And so, they can provide the professional guidance on it, and we can just provide the manpower,' Sotelo said. 'So, it's really whatever the community needs, and we try to step in and do that.' Catholic Charities also held a food drive for the Vernon College Food Pantry, which is in its second year running, among their other projects for the day. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
