OKLAHOMA CITY – Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City will host the 13th annual Reds, Whites & Brews on Friday, July 22, at Dunlap Codding in Oklahoma City’s Film Row. Proceeds will benefit the Sanctuary Women’s Development Center in Oklahoma City.
Tickets are $75 and will feature beer and wine tasting from local companies. Entertainment will be provided by Edmond native Jason Cadamy. Dinner and outdoor games also will be available on the patio.
“This fundraising event brings people together for a good cause. Money raised not only helps us continue operations at Sanctuary, but also allows us expand those services to more women,” said Racheal Singley, director of Sanctuary Women’s Development Center.
Sanctuary is a service of Catholic Charities located in the Stockyards of Oklahoma City. The center, which was a former mission church, provides assistance for homeless and at-risk women and their children. Case management, counseling and other resources help women move from homelessness and poverty to permanent homes and employment.
“My life has changed so dramatically since God chose to use Catholic Charities for my hand up, not a handout,” said Deborah Hall, a former client of the Sanctuary Women’s Development Center.
Hall said the state of homelessness is uniquely different than anything people go through and noted that Catholic Charities answered the plight of the poor.
“This truly has elevated my mind and soul to the point that I am just so clearly motivated toward believing God truly has something in store for me to do in the future.”
