Catholic Community Services of Western Washington

Last week, CCSWW PREPARES of Western Washington hosted its "Gather for love. Give for life!" luncheon. We're so thankful for this ministry, staff and amazing volunteers who show up consistently for our families and children in need.

If you are in the area, please come say hi to our Catholic Community Services Foster Care Programs staff at Les Cove Park!

Come visit us today!

Happy Father's Day from all of us at CCS and AHA!

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, caregivers, mentors, and father figures who provide love, guidance, and support to their families and communities. Thank you for the many ways you show up with strength, compassion, and care.

Wishing you a joyful and blessed Father's Day.

Today, we honor Juneteenth - a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the resilience, achievements, and enduring contributions of Black Americans.

As we reflect on this important day, we encourage our community to support Black-owned businesses that help strengthen and enrich our neighborhoods. Together, let us continue building communities where every person is valued, respected, and able to thrive.

You can transform lives with a gift supporting stable housing today.

Our Martina Apartments, pictured above, ensure that college students can prioritize their education without worrying if they can afford rent.

One resident, Sandra, shared that access to affordable housing has made it possible for her to attend college and pursue her dreams.

“Living at Martina Apartments has made a really big impact. It’s enabled me to go to school and stay focused on education.” - Sandra, CCS Martina Apartments resident

Your gift today can help open doors for more of our neighbors like Sandra.
