Nearly 750 community members gathered at this year’s Annual Fundraising Luncheon, celebrating 87 years of service. Our luncheon is a time for people of goodwill to come together on behalf of children, adults and families in need.
The most powerful witness to the work of Catholic Community Services comes from the people we serve. This year, we featured a short video compilation of several of our programs, followed by two feature stories—one from Rainbow Lodge, our youth respite program in McMinnville, and one from our Father Taaffe Homes & Pregnancy Support Services, which just celebrated 50 years of helping brave young mothers embrace hope for the future. These stories are a testament to the hope, healing, and kinship that the mission of CCS makes possible.
