The latest CSS Hastings News
“What does it feel like to be a mother?”
“What does it truly mean to be a mother?”
“How does a mother come to love her child so deeply?”
These were the questions that I asked myself for 13 years, before motherhood became part of my story.
One of my favorite days of the year is just around the corner—Give Hastings Day. It is a day that showcases our community’s generosity as neighbors come together to support local nonprofits and strengthen the place we all call home. Each year, I am amazed at what Hastings can accomplish in just 24 hours.
Catholic Social Services is excited to participate again this year on May 7, with all proceeds benefiting our Open Table Sack Lunch Program.
Open Table provides free sack lunches to an average of 100 people every day. With a “no questions asked” approach, we serve everyone with dignity, compassion, and care.

for the Register
Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska (CSS) knows well the meaning of the familiar idiom: “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
CSS provides a myriad of services and support systems to individuals and families. It operates a food market and meal services for those with food insecurity. CSS provides immigration legal services, refugee resettlement services, St. Gianna Homes for Women, a prison and re-entry apostolate, and a host of other outreaches and ministries. Yet many people, including Catholics, are not aware of or do not understand the comprehensive breadth of the work of Catholic Social Services.
