We are teaming up with NBC 25 & all the Dort Financial Credit Unions for donations to the Soup Kitchens and Community Closets.
All Dort FCU will have bins inside their banks for people to bring items and put inside such as clothes, towels, and nonperishable food items.
Each week, we will pick up the items from every branch to be weighed and distributed to our agency kitchens and pantries.
Last year we averaged 10,000 pounds of food and other donations from all donors during this event.
In this season as we prepare for Christmas, our hearts and minds are drawn to something outside of our daily routine. Perhaps we are longing for a deeper connection with someone. Maybe we've heard the whisper of a future hope for ourselves, our families, or our community. But most of all, we realize that we have a desire to share what we have with others. And what better way to spread love and joy than by donating to those in need? For many people, the holidays can be a difficult and lonely time. We, at Catholic Charities provide food, shelter, and gifts, and with your help, we can make someone's day a little brighter and show them that they are not alone. Holidays of Hope is not only a way to make a difference in the lives of others, but it is also a way to spread joy, goodwill, and the love of Jesus during one of the most wonderful times of the year. Thank you for your generosity!

““Last Christmas we had nowhere to go. Our money ran out for the hotel, and our rent assistance hadn’t come through yet. It was just so cold and none of the shelters had room. Me and my husband and our six year old boy stayed at the Warming Center for two weeks. It makes me want to cry to think about what might’ve happened if we didn’t have the Warming Center. We would’ve froze for sure.”

““I honestly didn’t think our marriage could be saved. I didn’t think counseling could possibly help, but it did. Having someone to talk to and help us hash things out made all the difference. We’ve been married eighteen years now, and I hope many more.”

““I had been in and out of jail so many times - I just didn’t care anymore. I spent eight long years as a heroin addict. Everything in my life was just out of control. I wished I was dead. Thank God a counselor finally got through to me and showed me how to change. They literally saved my life. Catholic Charities saved my life.”
