Annual Report
DEAR FRIENDS, SUPPORTERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND STAFF OF CASA CENTRAL:
I take pride in sharing with you our 2023 Annual Report — an outline of the impact our hard work and service has made in the Chicagoland area this past year.
While the times may be unsettled locally, nationally, and globally, our community and those we serve require that we stay focused and dedicated to our mission, just as we have done every day for nearly 70 years.
Casa Central is more than a social services agency; we are thousands of individuals, organizations, supporters, and partners united by the same goals of fostering individual and community growth, breaking boundaries, and transforming lives.
It is supporters like you that make all of this possible.
So, as you read this snapshot of what we have accomplished in the past year, please remember that you are an integral part of Casa Central. What you see on the following pages happened because of your generous support and the support of others like you, who joined in and made all of this a reality.
I encourage you to consider other ways you may be able to support our mission. Casa Central continues to prepare for new challenges and hopes for your ongoing and growing support.
Respectfully,
Martin R. Castro,
President and CEO
