Caritas Family Solutions

As Caritas grows, we’re honored to add two HSS legacy events to our 2026 calendar. In addition to the Heart & Soul Gala in February, we now have even more opportunities to celebrate the successes of the people we serve—Trivia Night in March and the Shine Your Light Gala in June.

Mark your calendars now!

Whether you’re cutting out clutter or making room for those new holiday outfits, your gently used clothing can bring new hope to local children, families, and individuals in need. Drop off your unused clothing items at any of four donation boxes throughout Southern Illinois or call for a pickup.
