In 2026, 266,740 meals have been served at CARITAS, made possible by the dedication of our team, volunteers, and community supporters.

Behind this number is a reminder that everyone deserves to be met with nourishment, connection, and the opportunity to move forward.

Thank you for being part of this work. Together, we’re building a community where everyone has a place at the table. 🧡

Recovery deserves a space built on dignity, hope, and possibility. 💙

👻 Stigma is scary. Staying stuck in the myths is scarier.

At CARITAS, we believe there’s always more to each person’s story. More than a label, more than a diagnosis, more than one path to recovery.

Let’s challenge stigma this October and make room for MORE. 🧡

Sometimes recovery looks like a big milestone. Sometimes it looks like making it to the next day. 🌱🎉

There is no one way to do recovery, and there is no one story that defines it. What connects us are the people who remind us to keep moving forward.

This month, we’ve made room for all of it - the hard parts, the hopeful parts, and everything in between. 🧡
