Enjoyed reading the article on Circles. It is very similar to a program we pioneered here in the East Bay, California called Family2Family. Our organization, Catholic Charities of the East Bay matches struggling families with a team from the local parish/congregation with a committment of up to 18 months. Currently, the program has 22 parishes/congregations signed up. For more information, please contact me.

I am just amazed to know about Circles and its influence on people’s lives, and I want to help.
For your get-together dinner, I think it will be really nice to invite friends and families and host a fundraising dinner at local restaurants. Simply, everyone will be eating together and raising money for your cause. On http://www.groupraise.com, non-profit groups can organize fundraising dinners in simple steps for free.
I hope this is helpful, and I truly wish Circles the best of luck!

Is there any evidence yet that this works or has any long term impact?
