Our Catholic faith calls us to serve others, especially the underprivelaged, the poor, and the marginalized. CCM answers this call to live out our faith by assisting those that need our help, locally and globally. Through our various service projects, you can:

• Learn about social issues that impact you, your community, and the Church.
• Understand how you can help address or solve these issues.
• Challenge yourself by stepping outside your comfort zone.
• Make new friends and have fun while making a difference.
• Grow in your faith through interaction with people of different races, ages, cultures and life experiences.

If you would like to participate in service projects with CCM, just contact us. Check the CCM Calendar to find out what days and where we are serving.

Volunteering with CCM can also be validated as service hours for Elon University. Here are some of the various ministries we help serve:

Little Portion Food Pantry

This food pantry is run by Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and provides supplemental food support for individuals & families in need. CCM sends volunteers on their food distribution days, typically the first Monday of each month. Volunteers are welcome to serve for any length of time from 9am-5pm. The location is the Blessed Sacrament office which is located on 408 W. Davis Street, Burlington, NC. Please contact if you would like to volunteer! You'll need to arrange your own transportation, but contact us if you need assistance.

Homework Club Tutors

Volunteer tutors are needed at Blessed Sacrament School. Volunteers will provide assistance with homework in core subjects and additional practice in areas of struggle for elementary and middle school students. Students selected for Homework Club are struggling academically and may not have help at home due to language barriers. Homework Club meets on Mondays from 3 pm-4 pm and/or Tuesdays from 3 pm-4 pm. It will begin on February 5th and go through April 30th (off for spring break from March 25th to April 8th). If you are interested, please email the school counselor Susan Caceres.

Christmas Project

CCM will provide students an opportunity to assist local families in need during the Advent and Christmas seasons. In past years, we have partnered with programs such as Stuff-a-Stocking, Angel Tree, and Christmas Cheer. Keep an eye out in mid-November for this year's partnership!

Service Trips

Every year, CCM offers opportunities to Elon students who want to give up a week off in order to serve the poor, the sick, and the underprivileged while living in community with other students. Whether it's over spring break, fall break, or "fake break," CCM works with domestic and global partners for these eye-opening experiences. Please visit our service trips page for more information.
