CCS Appeal for the Poor

The Catholic Community Services and Catholic Housing Services theme for the 2020 Appeal for the Poor Campaign is Hope and Light. CCS/CHS are our local Catholic Charities at work serving over 105,000 Western Washingtonians across 170 programs in 2019. With over 3,700 staff and 8,500 volunteers, CCS/CHS continue to accompany and work alongside the men, women, and children who seek their essential services. Consummate professionals and tireless advocates, CCS/CHS continue to provide compassionate charity and advocate for justice throughout the rise and fall of COVID-19 cases.

With the goal of keeping everyone safe, CCS/CHS has created a video to share their message of Hope and Light. I encourage you to watch the video prayerfully consider how you might join the thousands of volunteers and staff this year. Is it through prayer, advocacy, volunteerism, or a generous donation?

For those who have never given, an anonymous donor has given $10,000 to incentivize new parish donors. The first 100 new households who give at least $100 will have $100 of their gift matched – doubling your impact of Hope and Light to our neighbors in need! Visit ccsww.org/donatenow

 Reminder: 25% of all gifts from our parishioners will be returned to help facilitate our own charitable programming.
