The Labre Project is a JCU student organization through which JCU students, faculty, and administrators provide food, supplies, and friendship to people experiencing homelessness in Cleveland. The Labre Project began at JCU in October of 2004 and is named after St. Benedict Joseph Labre, the patron saint of the homeless.  Every Friday night, participants join in preparing a meal and gathering books, clothing, batteries, and supplies to distribute to over 120 people across the Cleveland area. The evening begins and ends with a brief ecumenical service and period of reflection.

Participants in this activity will assist with a "Labre Donation Sorting" event. Labre relies on a near-constant flow of donations that must be sorted and catalogued in order to be effectively distributed to those in need. Labre staff notes that "sorting days are fun, because it's a great way to help us out and build community at the same time. The work is not strenuous--and sometimes we'll let you take home a souvenir!"
