While visiting with Sonny, an employee at our Mae Anne donation center, a woman pulled up with a car-load of items. Sonny went out to greet her with an empty dandux for her donation. He came back inside to get this donor a tax slip and as she stepped in behind him, I thanked her for her donation and choosing to support our agency in this valuable way. She paused, took off her sunglasses, and looked up at me with emotion.
“Oh, I know about Catholic Charities.My daughter worked with you all, on 4th street for Court Appointed Community Service. She struggled with her behavior
and her experience with you was more than just a ‘course correction.’ You made a huge difference in the trajectory of her life. You accepted her and showed
her what a second chance looks like. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for what you do.” Sonny observed this conversation with some awe. “Wow.” he said, “Catholic Charities is helping so many people, not just me! I keep learning about the ripple effects of what we do from every donation made to this center.”
When we sell your donated items, 100% of the profit is reinvested in our assistance programs.
