Lincoln Outreach Coordinator
Working at the front desk and in the role of Outreach Coordinator at Catholic Social Services, you truly are the hands and feet of Christ, but also the heart and shoulder and ears and… I could go on, but you get the point! I never know what is going to happen in my day, or who I am going to meet and where the conversation will go.
I start my day with a prayer, offering to God all of the people I meet, all of the conversations I have and all of the struggles I encounter throughout the day A prayer I have recently been saying is called Radiating Christ, and it is affiliated with St. Teresa of Calcutta, who is the patron saint of Catholic Social Services this year.

When someone calls Catholic Social Services in need of financial assistance, it’s usually because, for one reason or another, they have fallen behind in rent or utilities. Many things can disrupt a household’s ability to pay the bills, including illness, job loss, or the unexpected death of a family member. Natural disasters such as a fire or flood can also affect a family’s financial independence, prompting them to seek temporary assistance.
When I took calls and processed requests at our Lincoln office, I remember many of these scenarios and the families that we were able to assist. However, there is one unique request that we have received several times in the past few years from our office in Hastings: financial assistance to pay for cranial helmets for infants and young children.
