Spirit and Vineyard of Hope fundraisers return
Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte invites the public to attend its annual Spirit of Hope and Vineyard of Hope fundraisers, supporting Catholic Charities’ work serving neighbors in need across two regions of our diocese.
These evenings are critical sources of support for Catholic Charities’ work in western North Carolina. During each event, attendees will hear inspiring stories of lives changed and be invited to give a financial gift to help neighbors facing hunger, hardship and moments of crisis. Proceeds go directly to strengthening families, building communities and reducing poverty.
The Asheville region’s Spirit of Hope fundraiser will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, at Highland Brewing Company, 12 Old Charlotte Highway. in Asheville. Funds raised will benefit local programs in the 13 westernmost counties of North Carolina.
Charlotte’s Vineyard of Hope will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 29, at The Revelry North End, 701 Keswick Ave. in Charlotte. Proceeds raised will benefit Catholic Charities’ programs in the Charlotte region.
Both events are free to attend, but registration is required and space is limited.
To register or make a gift, visit www.ccdoc.org/VOH for Vineyard of Hope or www.ccdoc.org/SOH for Spirit of Hope.
