2026 Shine Your Light Gala

Join us this year for a special celebration dedicated to creating healthy relationships, loving homes and stronger communities.

This year we're planning another exciting event as we gather at The Falls in Columbia, IL  to celebrate our  gala!

We can’t wait to share the tremendous impact Caritas has had on children, families and others in need over the past year. The need for our services continues to grow, and your support will help us extend empathy and grace to build transformational relationships and effect real change across our community.
