The latest CSS Imperial/McCook News

Volunteer Coordinator in Lincoln, CSSS

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me…Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me. — Matthew 25: 35-36, 45

Chances are you are a caregiver. Maybe you are a mom or dad raising your children; a daughter or son aiding your aging parents; or caring for others in your chosen profession or vocation.

Just as you are told in the preflight check, put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others. Conceptually, most of us know that, in order to effectively help others, we must take care of ourselves first. But do we?

It was springtime, and the rain was pouring down. I had just met with one of my first clients in my new position at Catholic Social Services in 2019. Let’s call her “Casey.” She and her friend “Naomi” had been badly beaten by their boyfriends the night before. They seemed to be each other’s only support, both fleeing from domestic violence.

You’re invited to join CSS for a Sustainability Open House on April 24, 2025. Director of Sustainability, Jamie Carson, tells us this engaging event aims to highlight CSS’s ongoing sustainability efforts, foster community feedback, and promote environmental stewardship, with a special focus on youth, families, and teachers.
