🙌

This week, we were blessed to welcome a group of middle school students from Covenant Presbyterian Church, Madison WI, who spent time volunteering with us while attending a youth conference at Hastings College.💙🧡💚

Their helping hands made a big impact as they prepared sandwiches and packed sack lunches for our neighbors in need. 🥪🤝 Thank you for serving our community with such joyful energy!

– Community Partner Highlight ☕

Drumroll please! 🥁

Introducing… Hope in the Good Life Blend! 💙🧡💚

Through a new partnership with LeNoir Dimbaya Coffee, Catholic Social Services is brewing up a new way to bring to our community.

This partnership creates a meaningful way for coffee lovers to support the mission of CSS, with every bag purchased helping fund programs that bring hope to our communities.

"As a small business owner, I've seen firsthand how much a community can impact someone's journey. Giving back is our way of saying thank you and helping create opportunities for others, just as others have done for us."
- Sidy Sissoko, Owner, LD Coffee Roasters

The impact of your purchase goes even further than you might think. A portion of LD Coffee Roasters' proceeds already supports a youth mentorship program in Africa, and now every bag of Hope in the Good Life Blend will also help support the mission of CSS. It's coffee that fuels hope—both here at home and around the world. 📍🌎

We'll officially launch Hope in the Good Life Blend this Saturday at our Building Blessing + Family Festival! Stop by to be among the first to purchase a bag and help us celebrate this exciting new partnership. 🙌🏻

Additional purchasing information coming soon.

👣"El Camino—if you ever have the chance to walk it, please do. And if you can experience this pilgrimage alongside a priest, even better. In 2017, I walked the Camino de Santiago across Spain with my younger brother, now Father Hile, Father Rodriguez, and several seminarians. As one of the oldest pilgrims in the group, I spent much of the month tending blisters, passing out Tylenol, and reminding exhausted young men to drink water. Yet in return, I received far more than I gave: daily Mass, shared prayer, honest conversations, blessings, and the witness of men preparing to become spiritual fathers." 🙏 Read "A Father's Faithful Presence", the latest by Katie Patrick: https://loom.ly/w9UtFLg
