Move That Wall! Demo Day Marks New Phase for Adult Day Services Project shouts of “move that T owall” from joyful program
Faithful Servant “Well done, my good and faithful servant. Come, share your master’s joy.” Matthew 25:21 Year-round contributions to the Faithful Servant Fund allow Catholic Charities to use the dollars where they are most needed to help the homeless, the hungry, the lonely and abused.
participants, three dignitaries used one really big excavator to demolish a screen wall at the future home of Adult Day Services, signifying a new phase in the two-year project. Program participants and their families, donors and project partners, and Michener Elementary School neighbors gathered for Demo Day March 12, celebrating the final push of the $5.2 million Blessing Families, Enriching Lives capital campaign and the beginning of the construction phase. “We’re very, very excited about the success of our campaign,” says Wendy Glick, Catholic Charities executive director. “We never in a million years thought that we could raise the money as quickly as we’ve been able to do, but God has blessed us with the generosity of about 85 donors and family foundations that feel called to join in this ministry with us.” Wendy says the campaign is within 80 percent of its overall goal and met the $750,000 motivational challenge offered by a matching grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation. The fundraising appeal will continue until construction begins later this spring.
