In one of Jesus’ most recalled stories, it was the person “who showed mercy” who was identified as the Good Samaritan. Jesus’ follow-up instructions were simple: “You go, and do likewise.”

The story of helping a left-for-dead beaten man resonates even today because it helps us understand who we are to serve: our neighbors. Families continue to hurt for resources. Single moms continue to look for ways to remain in their homes and avoid eviction. Children continue to be hungry. Senior adults continue to need weekly groceries. Poverty and the need for help continue to face us.

Those are the countless “neighbors” that come to CCA looking for assistance, and together, we can show mercy.

As the pandemic wears on, the financial strain on families continues to rise, as does the number of families who have never had to ask for help. “I’ve never needed help like this before,” wrote us one mother. “Everyone at CCA made us feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Over the last couple of months CCA has been a life saver for us. We can’t express how grateful we are for everything you’ve done for us.”

Your financial contribution helps families like this one, and because of a generous donor, starting today every dollar will be matched up to $30,000, which means your gift today will go twice as far to alleviate suffering, bring hope and change lives. Read more here…
