Good news Tuesday!! In partnership with Capital City Diaper bank, our 6th annual diaper drive is officially over. Thanks to all of our generous donations, we received 2,628 packages of diapers and pull-ups, as well as 438 wipes!
We would like to thank the downtown churches, (First Baptist, First United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, Grace Episcopal Church, Memorial Baptist, and Unitarian Universial Fellowship) volunteers and donors who helped make all of this possible.

We had such a great visit with Catholic Charities this morning!

Collaboration in action 🤝

We were honored to host this quarter’s Agency Connection Meeting, an initiative started by Common Ground, bringing local service providers together under one roof. These gatherings create space to share updates, exchange ideas, and work collectively toward solutions that strengthen our entire community.

By rotating between partner agencies, each meeting offers a chance to learn more about the incredible work happening across our network—and we were proud to showcase our mission and programs here at Catholic Charities.

Big thanks to Aging Best, Common Ground Community Building, Samaritan Center, and The Salvation Army Jefferson City for joining us today!

Help us welcome Amina, the newest member of our volunteer team!

Amina is a Jefferson City native who works in state Procurement by day and unwinds with jigsaw puzzles, building Legos, and spending time with the people (and pup!) she loves. 💙

She can’t wait to help shine a light on all the good happening here at Common Ground, and we’re so glad to have her creativity on the team.

This past Friday’s Celebration Concert was nothing short of magical. The performances were breathtaking, First Presbyterian Church offered the perfect setting and the fellowship in the room was truly heartwarming.

Thank you to our generous sponsors, especially, Hitachi Energy Jefferson City, Ann & Zach Po***ck, and the Van Camp Family for making this night possible. Thank you to everyone in attendance and our wonderful volunteers, your belief in our mission filled the night with joy and purpose. And thank you to the incredibly talented performers!
