A message from Marlene…
Dear friends,

It has been, and it continues to be, the greatest honor of my life to represent Catholic Family Center. During this season of Lent, we reflect on the services CFC provides to over 27,000 vulnerable and at-risk people, through the eyes of a child. This beautiful video features their voices, reminding us that we’re all part of the same world. Kids need the same things to be happy, healthy, and hopeful no matter where they come from and where they are today.

And indeed, so do we all. We all have different histories, but we share the same goals. Each of us wants the chance for a healthy, happy, and successful future. Delivering that is what drives CFC forward.

Thank you for your interest in learning more about us, and for all you do to support our mission of providing people with hope. From the bottom of my heart, may this spring bring blessings and hope for you and for those you love. 

In gratitude for your continued support and prayers,
Marlene
President & CEO

Our mid-winter message told the stories of the children we serve, most of whom live below the poverty level. But, from children who received your holiday gifts through our Adopt-A-Family program, to the kids who with their families receive emergency housing and emotional support…your gifts to CFC have an amazing impact each and every day. Thank you! 

CFC is a registered non-profit human services agency. All gifts to CFC are used solely in support of this agency and our mission to serve the individuals and families who need us.

Thank you.

Many histories. One future.


Over four hundred supporters and donors attended our “Many histories. One future” Gala to celebrate our mission! Thank you for all the fun, the sharing and your giving. Enjoy some of the highlights in this collection on Facebook
