2020 Hearts for Hope Dinner & Auction – CANCELLED

Dear friends,

We are very grateful for your generous and continued support of Catholic Charities 2020 Hearts for Hope Dinner and Auction.

The health and safety of our community is our top priority. We are following all recommendations from the CDC and other health agencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and so will no longer be holding the event on Saturday April 18.

In the coming weeks and months, we expect the need for our services to expand and deepen. Our focus in the immediate term is to ensure people have food, and that all services that can be provided remotely are done so. In the longer term, emergency financial assistance will be critical to the thousands of families navigating lost wages and other impacts from the pandemic. Please be sure to check your email in the next few weeks for information on how you can still support the important needs in the Northwest Region.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Rose Marie Lesniak-Mendez, Northwest Regional Director, at (847) 376-2118 orRMLesniakMendez@catholiccharities.net.

Thank you again for your partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Cathi Stefanski
