In February 2012, the eleven Catholic Parishes of the Cedar Rapids Metro area worked collaboratively to create and open Metro Catholic Outreach (MCO).  This center provides a food pantry, call center for referrals and assistance, plus limited financial assistance for those in need in the Cedar Rapids area. Your donations of food, sundries and other items provide to our community in need.
