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’Donnell, Director of Operations, Joseph House

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 Guttu, CPF Community Outreach Coordinator
