St. Aloysius

Detroit, MI

As an urban parish located in the heart of Detroit, St. Aloysius provides many people in need with food.

When the pandemic started, many people, especially the elderly, were shut into their homes with no access to food or their prescriptions. With an increase in demand on resources and a lack of centralized data and tracking systems, the staff and volunteers needed help.

VersAlta quickly pulled together an outreach tool utilizing Shepherd 360º so that staff could connect those needing help with people who wanted to help.

The results (April and August, 2020):

  • 2,024 Touches  between parishioner/staff/ volunteer doing outreach

  • 802 times FEMA food was provided
