Our Celebration of Hope banquet in Lincoln on February 25th, 2024, was an awe-inspiring evening of food & fellowship! A program highlight was our panel conversation on sustainability, which is one of our core values at CSS. Moderated by CSS Development Officer John Soukup, our panelists include CSS Executive Director Katie Patrick, CSS Director of e-Commerce Mario Racicot, and CSS Warehouse Manager John Haag. Watch to learn more about how we're not only generating additional revenue for our programs but also being good stewards of your generous donations.

We're committed to being good stewards of the gifts so generously given to us, as highlighted in the sustainability panel discussion at our 2024 Celebration of Hope event. Learn more about why this is such an important subject for all of us in our March Hope In The Good Life newsletter.

Food is more than nourishment- it can be fun, too! Here's a recipe to celebrate St. Patrick's Day that's a bit more budget and kid-friendly than corned beef and cabbage. It's easily adaptable to your family's preferences, with options for potatoes, pasta, or rice.

In the latest "Messages of Hope" column, CSS Child Care Director Elaine Simpson provides a "Little Blessings" update.
