He’s the Catholic Charities advancement director, and says there are many individuals who sleep at the shelter and then head to work.

For others, kind words or playing cards is the best part of their day.

Catholic Charities offers services to those coming to help find housing.

Catholic Charities also runs a Warming Center in downtown La Crosse, which will open Nov. 1.
