Father Joe’s Villages hosted the 37th Annual Children’s Charity Gala at the US Grant Hotel. This year’s theme, Hope Blooms reflected how we see all the children they serve growing into their full potential. The funds raised at the Gala will fund emergency support and life-sustaining services such as housing, food and healthcare, as well as therapeutic childcare, academic support, tutoring and family counseling for the over 900 children experiencing homelessness they serve each year.
Some of the Guests in attendance were Roawen Chen, Savi Soin, Claire Reiss, Deacon Jim Vargas, Lisette Islas, Virginia Giuliano, and Brittany Haile.
