On Dec. 8, we hosted St. Ann's Center's Annual Christmas Open House with help from Bishop Roy Campbell. We are excited to share this article from the Catholic Standard, featuring highlights, quotes, and photos from our event.
The latest monthly note from Sister Nancy Downing,CEO:
"I want to take one moment to thank you for donating, volunteering, and engaging with St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth and Families this year. You give our community so many reasons to be thankful!"
You Can Make a Difference, One "Cup" at a Time! This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help support families at St. Ann's through our annual "Give Your Cup" campaign.
The idea is simple: for less than the cost of a daily coffee, you can positively impact the families healing, stabilizing, and growing to independence through St. Ann's programs.
"This month I had the chance to attend the annual cookout for St. Ann’s families hosted by the Blue Knights (MD 1 chapter). A “non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men and women who enjoy riding motorcycles,” the Blue Knights are familiar and beloved to staff, supporters, and alumna of St. Ann’s programs.
"And after attending this cookout, I understand why!"
"We feel immense thankfulness for you and others who help ensure that children at St. Ann’s Center have... not just fundamental shelter and security, but also the loving, caring support of our staff, who help mom and her children heal together from the disruptive effects of housing instability."
This July 26 - St. Ann's Feast Day - we invite you to celebrate the mothers and their children at St. Ann's Center rewriting their futures. This is a wonderful way to honor a special woman in your life while also doubling your giving impact through a dollar-for-dollar match from The Raskob Foundation!
Breaking News! NBC4 Washington ran a #GivingTuesday story highlighting Sister Mary Bader's impact during her 18 years as CEO of St. Ann's Center. But as Sister Mary always says, the focus is not her leadership - but rather the team and the community who have powered St. Ann's mission ever since our founding in 1860.
#GivingTuesday is a wonderful way to kick off the giving season! This #GivingTuesday, we ask you to join us and "Give Your Cup" of coffee, tea, or any other "cup" for one day ($6), one week ($30), one month ($120), one day a week for a year ($312), or any amount in-between to support St. Ann's families. | Click HERE to learn more.
