Catholic Charities

Throughout the year, we work alongside Catholic Charities to serve those in our community who are in need. From seasonal fundraisers to special outreach programs, this partnership allows us to provide food and vital resources to individuals and families who are facing hardship. 

Together, we live out the Gospel call to love our neighbor and bring hope where it’s needed most.
