WHEELING, (W.Va.) – Catholic Charities West Virginia (CCWVa) will host its Shining a Light on Hope Virtual Gala on April 21. The Gala will broadcast at 7:00 p.m. on WTRF-7 in Wheeling and on CCWVa’s website, YouTube channel and Facebook page.
“We are excited to give our supporters an inside look at the vital programs we provide across northern West Virginia,” said Beth Zarate, CCWVa President and Chief Executive Officer.
From food pantries to case management, from children’s services to in-home care for the elderly, CCWVa provides comprehensive social services to those in need.
“Over the last year, Catholic Charities has given more critical support than ever before,” said Zarate. “We are steadfast in our desire to help those experiencing hardships get the resources, education and tools they need.”
Proceeds from the Gala support CCWVa’s programs and services in 17 counties in northern West Virginia.
A special highlight of the Gala will be musical entertainment provided by the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra WSO on the GO program, as well as the children of Holy Family Child Care Center.
As part of the Gala, CCWVa will host a virtual auction. The auction will feature a number of unique items and priceless opportunities. It will be available at bidpal.net/CCWVa from April 17-24, closing at 9:00 p.m. on April 24.
“We rely on the generous contributions of our community to support our programs, and we’re extremely grateful for our sponsors whose support enables us to continue this important work,” said Zarate.
