As the mother of a son who was adopted through Catholic Charities, I felt a strong desire to give back to this wonderful organization. I have learned so much about the tremendous array of services offered to people in our community regardless of creed. The word Catholic truly means"including or concerning all humankind; universal" as defined in the dictionary. The scope of services offered by CCETN is vast and thorough. Not only do they support pregnant women in need, but they offer education to them and the baby's father regarding needed life skills. The elderly are not only housed, but loved and cared for with compassion. The children in need of protection are nurtured and kept safe. These items just touch on a couple of issues CCETN addresses.
CCETN helps so many needy people. That is why I got involved with Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities provides support for many people. They serve the elderly, homeless, immigrants, and children. Most importantly, only 10 % of revenues go toward administrative costs. It was named by Charity Navigator as a Top Ten Charity for fiscal responsibility. The organization reaches out to everyone. Fewer than 5% of those served are Catholic. I know my time and money is helping others.
