Catholic Charities of Orange County provided food assistance to nearly 100,000 individuals in 2009
Catholic Charities of Orange County (CCOC) celebrates its 23rd annual Mardi Gras Ball, February 13 at 6:00 p.m., held at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif. The black tie fundraiser is the largest Catholic fundraiser of its kind in Orange County, drawing more than 500 distinguished guests and raising more than $350,000 last year. The Most Rev. Tod D. Brown, Bishop of Orange, will honor the spirit of philanthropy and reflect on the bountiful contributions Catholic Charities has made over the past 33 years. This year’s event takes on even more significance as the county reels from the dual effects of a protracted recession and the disintegration of the government sponsored social safety net. In the face of this crisis CCOC has increased its food assistance to the poor, serving nearly 100,000 people in 2009
