Bill > J01178

This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of Catholic Charities of Oneida/Madison Counties, recognizing the organization's century-long commitment to serving vulnerable community members. Founded in 1925, the organization has dedicated itself to transforming lives by addressing persistent challenges such as poverty, mental illness, substance abuse, and homelessness through a wide range of compassionate services. These services include residential care, mental health counseling, emergency community assistance, a food pantry, pet pantry, youth recreational programs like CYO Basketball, and Camp Nazareth. The resolution highlights the organization's inclusive approach of providing services without regard to an individual's ability to pay, religion, race, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality. It emphasizes Catholic Charities' mission of promoting human development, collaboration, and the elimination of poverty and injustice, while also acknowledging the dedication of its staff, volunteers, partners, and community supporters. The legislative body pauses to honor the organization's remarkable contributions to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities in Oneida and Madison Counties, and resolves to transmit a copy of the resolution to Catholic Charities.
