WINSTON-SALEM — “As our community navigates the continued impacts of COVID-19, we know one thing is for certain, we are ‘together for good,’” says Dr. Gerard Carter, executive director and CEO of Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte.
That message is the theme for this year’s Partners in Hope event, which raises funds for Catholic Charities’ work in the Piedmont Triad. Set for Thursday, March 10, the event will be held at the Benton Convention Center in downtown Winston-Salem.
The night will be a perfect time to come “together for good” in supporting the critical work the agency does in alleviating poverty and supporting families in Forsyth, Guilford and surrounding counties, organizers said.
From food and baby clothing to counseling services and support for community college students, Catholic Charities helps thousands of people in need across the Piedmont Triad region – especially in providing a critical lifeline to people financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Partners in Hope attendees will hear inspiring stories of Catholic Charities’ impact over the past year and be invited to support Catholic Charities’ mission to “Strengthen Families, Build Communities, and Reduce Poverty” in the Piedmont Triad region. All funds raised through Partners in Hope are used to support local services and programs provided locally through the Piedmont Triad Office of Catholic Charities.
During this year’s Partners In Hope event, the volunteers of the Piedmont Triad Office will be honored as the recipients of the 2022 Bishop William G. Curlin Partners in Hope Award.
“Thanks to the generous support of donors and volunteers across our territory, we are bringing much needed comfort and services to the people we serve, our neighbors in need, and supporting the good work done every day by Catholic Charities,” Carter said.
