2025 Heart of Christ Award will be presented to MIKE HOSEK!

Since 2021, Mike Hosek has led an impressive and innovative effort to restock the shelves of our CSS Lincoln Food Market. With the Walk to End Hunger year-long food drive, Mike encourages friendly competition between local Knights of Columbus councils, solicits corporate sponsors for the August wrap-up walk event at Pius X HS, and organizes countless tasks, ensuring it’s a fun, well-attended success. We’re honored to present him with the 2025 Heart of Christ award at our Celebration of Hope gala on March 15th and thank him for standing tall as he nourishes HOPE IN THE GOOD LIFE for the neighbors we feed together. Please join us at Celebration of Hope on March 15th as we honor Mike and his work!
