Northwest Catholic shared firsthand accounts of how Catholic Community Services (CCS) transforms lives throughout Western Washington. This article features four CCS programs from southwestern Washington: Bertha’s Place Too, Drexel House, Quince Street Village, and The Community Kitchen

In the article, written by Andrew Foster, people served by CCS explain how the programs have impacted their lives. Raelene, a guest at Bertha’s Place Too shelter in Clark County, says, “This place has saved my life multiple times — literally saved my life.”
