I am excited to share that I am attending Vineyard of Hope, an annual event hosted by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charlotte to support life-sustaining services for Charlotte residents.

Although there is no charge for the event, all attendees are invited to make a donation to support Catholic Charities' work.

Please keep reading to learn how these gifts provide a hand-up for individuals and families facing hardships in our community.

Locally, gifts to Catholic Charities support a weekly food pantry, services for homeless Veterans, and sliding-scale mental health services for every income level.

These are just a few of the more than a dozen programs and services made possible by the funds raised at Vineyard of Hope.

Please consider joining me at Vineyard of Hope on Thursday, May 1, 2025, to enjoy fellowship, a meal, and learn more about the many ways Catholic Charities is transforming the lives of individuals and children in need in the Charlotte area.

Thank you.
