The children in Catholic Charities unaccompanied minor program (UMP) decided to make a big difference for sick and injured animals without homes this month. They started a blanket drive for the Arizona Humane Society, with donations coming from Catholic Charities and The Refuge Café employees.
TI Fitness, located in Gilbert, Ariz., has been a supporter of My Sisters’ Place for years. “We wanted to do something repeatable, that we could do year after year and not worry about interference from weather conditions,” said Terrance Johnson, co-owner of TI Fitness. Their solution was Own the Trainer Week.
During Own the Trainer Week, anyone can challenge their trainer to do difficult workouts, for a price. A sign-up sheet in the lobby records specific workouts and the trainers assigned to them with the pledge amounts.
When most people think about retirement they think about traveling, spending time on the golf course or with their grandkids but Carol Gastelum had other things in mind. She has been volunteering at Catholic Charities since 2009.
To say that Carol volunteers is really an understatement. Carol works a full 40 hour work week splitting her time between volunteer services and parish and community engagement.
