21ST ANNUAL HARVEST OF HOPE
Benefiting Catholic Charities, Diocese of Fresno
The 21st Annual Harvest of Hope was held on Saturday, September 14th at Valdez Hall. A total of 350 guests attended for the benefit of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Fresno (CCDOF). One of the key programs supported through the event is the Family Resource Center (FRC), which offers a lifeline to hundreds of families by providing essential resources, referrals, and direct support in times of need. A significant highlight of the evening was when attendees became Angels of Hope by committing to help meet the urgent and growing needs at the Fresno FRC, which has seen record-breaking numbers of new clients in 2024. The live auction brought in nearly $130,000 and the Angels of Hope raised almost $45,000. Bishop Joseph Brennan opened the event with a profound and moving prayer that he beautifully sang. Two devoted supporters, Stan & Darlene Spano, were honored along with Holy Spirit Church Outreach Ministry, who received the prestigious Bishop John T. Steinbock Ministry of Presence Award. The Ministry of Presence Guild played an instrumental role in organizing and supporting the evening’s festivities.
