After 100 years, it’s time to celebrate

Catholic Charities of Omaha has been serving people with hope and compassion for 100 years – and that deserves a celebration.

The organization will hold a Century of Hope Gala on Saturday, Aug. 29, at A View West Shores, 110 S. 243rd St. in Waterloo.

Over the decades Catholic Charities has helped people with basic needs: food, shelter and safety, counseling and more.

“This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the generosity, prayers, and service of our donors, volunteers, parishes, and supporters,” Catholic Charities said. At the gala, the charity will “celebrate the hope we have created together, honor everyone who has helped make our mission possible, and look toward the future with renewed purpose.”

The event includes cocktails at 5:30 p.m., a 7 p.m. dinner, followed by a program and live auction.

Tickets cost $250 per individual or $2,000 for a table of eight and can be purchased at ccomaha.org/gala/.
