Few find themselves in the Oval Office at the White House. Morgan Hill resident Greg Kepferle was invited to meet with President Barack Obama to share the work being done by the Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, of which Kepferle is the CEO.
“The president was very engaging, warm, thoughtful and genuine,” Kepferle said. “I had the opportunity to talk about the needs of families in San Jose, the creative anti-poverty work of Catholic Charities and of our partnership initiatives including Step Up Silicon Valley and the Franklin-McKinley Children’s Initiative.”
Kepferle accompanied executive leaders of Catholic Charities USA for a private meeting in the Oval Office with Obama as the president recognized the social service organization for its 100 years of service, discussed their bipartisan legislative initiative related to poverty relief and congratulated them on their upcoming centennial celebrations.
Catholic Charities USA celebrated 100 years of service and advocacy starting Saturday in Washington, D.C.
Its Centennial Gathering concludes today with a Gala Concert with Patti LaBelle and Denyce Graves.
Catholic Charities USA was founded in 1910 “to bring about a sense of solidarity” among those in charitable ministries. Since 1910, Catholic Charities USA has encouraged professional social work practice, provided opportunities for training and networking, and served as a national voice and expert on poverty issues.
