Annual Events

Luncheon

We were able to hold the March 5, 2020 luncheon just prior to the shutdowns. 

However, the 33rd Annual Luncheon planned for March 2021 has been canceled due to the pandemic. The luncheon will return in March 2022. Watch for updated information posted to this site and please plan to attend.

32nd Annual Women’s Board Luncheon Results

The luncheon was held on March 5, 2020 and was a tremendous success with over 350 guests in attendance. Proceeds to benefit Catholic Charities Summit County programs surpassed $16,000, with the “I fed 3 People” stickers raising $930 for the Hot Meals programs and the Gramma’s Kitchen bake sale raising $450 for Sewing Ladies.

Bags of Love

Each December, our Women's Board of Catholic Charities Summit County adopts families in need, providing gifts, household items, and grocery store gift cards to help provide Christmas joy. This is our Bags of Love Program.

For 2020, we were unable to gather for shopping and wrapping so we provided gift cards only. The gift cards were for grocery stores and discount department stores so that recipients could shop for items themselves. Given this, we were in critical need of financial donations.

Our faithful and loyal annual luncheon attendees and sponsors, our Women’s Board members, and the community rallied around our need and we were able to raise over $11,000. These funds were used in their entirety to provide gift cards to 30 families for a total of 118 people. Thank you to everyone for the generous donations. You have provided a Merry Christmas to many needy families in our community.

If you would like to donate for the 2021 Bags of Love program please make checks payable to Women’s Board of CCC/SC and send to:
