What is the best gift you ever received at Christmas? What if the best gift you ever received was the gift of being able to celebrate Christmas itself? Many of the people whom Catholic Charities serves often have passed through years where Christmas was merely another day on the calendar and survival was their sole focus. The ability to celebrate this joyous holiday with family and friends, partake of delicious food, and exchange gifts was not even in the realm of possibilities.
We spend every day trying to make a difference in the lives of our clients. Our efforts are always extended when the community joins in to help us. Such was the case this past Saturday, when a partnership with HandsOn Greater Phoenix and the City of Glendale allowed us to truly make a difference in the lives of the adults, children, and families who reside in our affordable housing communities.
