CCSA
Celebrates
Together !!
On Friday April 11th, CCSA
volunteers, agency staff and CCSA Board
members joined together for food and
fellowship at an all-agency
potluck in
Calvin Hall on the
campus of Pacific Beach
Presbyterian Church near the Joyce Snyder Center. We were very excited that more than 50
service center
volunteers were able to attend!! A great time was had by all!!
This year 220 people walked the 4.2 mile bayside course. Most of the walkers were supporters from our member churches, and their family and friends. There were 22 CCSA member churches represented. Eleven pastors participated (that’s a record). Many of our congregations had between 10-20 participants walking the course. Outside support included St. Therese Catholic Church of San Diego and Soroptimist’s International of Mission Bay. More of our walkers wore the blue CCSA t-shirts this year, especially designed to show our spirit and let people know that CCSA is serious about its efforts. As the crowd made its way from De Anza Cove to the half-way point, and back again; it was like a “sea-of-blue”.
Once again, CCSA owes the tremendous success of this year’s Hunger Walk to its faithful supporters. These are the people that believe the ministry of CCSA makes a difference in the communities of San Diego. These dedicated people put forth their commitment and pledged donations which led to the success of this year’s event and CCSA’s ability as a whole to raise vital funds for the agency’s programs.
