HOW WE IMPACT THE COMMUNITY

Thank you so much for all you did for our neighborhood at the St. Aloysius coat distribution. It was really encouraging to see the big turnout from refugee families, children who attend preschool at St. Aloysius, and neighbors who came for the hot meal. A lot of people left very happy! It's been a pleasure working with you this past year. Thank you again for everything.

Michelle O'DonnellDirector of Operations, Joseph House

It was something special to witness... the dedication and enthusiasm of not only the players but also Coach Bam and his assistants. While watching them practice, I realized how important it is for programs like this to exist. Our thanks goes out to Head Coach Bam and his staff for not only sharing their knowledge of football with the kids, but also reinforcing the importance of going to school, obtaining good grades and most of all, respect for themselves and others.

Bob GuttuCPF Community Outreach Coordinator

Thank you so much for the generous gifts for the little girl who lost everything in the arson fire. The family was speechless and quite impressed with the the outpouring of support, especially from the police. You truly are amazing! Merry Christmas to you!

I wanted to thank you for bringing my son a new bike after his was stolen. Biking is his only means of getting to and from work. He loves the new bike, and we are both grateful for your help. Thank you for doing this for the community. Blessings!

I was thrilled to receive your generous gift card [this was our Secret Santa program]. It was so thoughtful of you to think of our family at Christmas time. My kids really appreciate the toys and the tickets to see the Monsters game; you can't imagine all the joy you've brought to them.
