Something as simple as a bottle of cold water can be everything on a hot day.

During periods of extreme heat, The Beacon stays open, and our guests are here. Keeping them hydrated is one of the most concrete ways you
can help right now. We're currently in need of donations of bottled water, and there are two easy ways to help. Drop off donations at 615 E Washington Ave., Madison (rear entrance off E Main St.) between 8:00 AM and 4:45 PM, or order directly from our Amazon Wish List and have items shipped straight to us.

If you've been looking for a simple, tangible way to help your neighbors this summer, this is it.

Today, we remember.

We remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country, and the families who carry the weight of that sacrifice every day after.

At Catholic Charities of Madison, we walk alongside many neighbors whose stories include military service — and the long, complicated road that often follows. Veterans at The Beacon and 5 Door Recovery. Aging parents and spouses across our service area. Families navigating loss and the quiet anniversaries that come with it.

Memorial Day is a day to honor. It is also, for many in our community, a day to grieve. We hold both today, and we are grateful — for those who served, for those who remember, and for the freedom their sacrifice protects.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Working alongside NexTrex, CMC staff and volunteers recycled 1,000 pounds of plastic bags — and turned them into a bench. The bench now sits at the Catholic Multicultural Center, overlooking the pollinator and rain garden. Stop by to see it.
