THIS IS EVERYTHING WE COULDN’T DO WITHOUT YOU
For more than 80 years, The Don Bosco Centers has been committed to cultivating self-sufficient neighbors for a stronger community. This past year, not only did we see a significant rise in prices, but we saw an increase of those in need. The Don Bosco Centers’ mission stands strong even in more difficult times. We will continue to serve despite the challenges.
The Don Bosco Centers is able to stand strong because of the amazing community we have surrounding us. We’ve laughed, cried, served, and fundraised together. These numbers are not a reflection of any one individual, but they are a collection of memories made and lives impacted together
