CARS makes donating your vehicle and real estate easy. Bruce Bauer, CARS Director of partner support, traveled to Phoenix recently to meet with the Catholic Charities team at MANA (Marine, Army, Navy, Air Force) House. Although CARS is a long-time corporate partner, this was the first time Bruce got to see our work and the facility in action. After the tour, he met with the Catholic Charities team and provided training on the vehicle donation program, as well as the new real estate donation program. Cole Hickman, Senior Program Manager at MANA House, and his team were able to personally thank Bruce and the team at CARS for the investments they have made in Catholic Charities programs. Thank you, CARS, for your partnership. |

Mary has been a foster parent for unaccompanied refugee minors for five years with Catholic Charities. Mary has one Congolese daughter, one Afghan son and two biological daughters. Reflecting on her experience, Mary emphasized the precious memories and impactful lessons she learned from fostering her unaccompanied refugee son and daughter. “Never once have I regretted fostering unaccompanied minors. However, very frequently, I’m taken aback and think to myself, ‘I can’t believe I almost missed this. I can’t believe we almost said no,’ and I just shake my head,” said Mary.
