Beginning October 14, 2025 through October 26, 2025, Central Texas Charitable Works (CTCW) will hold an Online Silent Auction to raise funds to assist those in need in our community. With the rising costs of groceries and gas, our mission to help those in need is of the utmost importance. CTCW is the nonprofit charitable arm of the Knights of Columbus Council 8156 in Austin, TX. Together, this partnership provides financial and volunteer support to many worthy causes.

Central Texas Charitable Works is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation is tax deductible as allowed by law (CTCW ID #81-2303580). CTCW strives to promote the dignity of the human person by supporting organizations that provide food, shelter, and services to those in need in our community and surrounding area. With less than 2% in overhead expenses, CTCW assures you that your donation will truly help those in need!
 
The proceeds from our 2025 auction will support Abiding Love Food Pantry in Austin, TX. The Food Pantry has been in operation for 20 years and requires much support in order to help those in the community facing food insecurity. The Food Pantry served 10 families on their opening day of distribution in 2005 and now serves approximately 200 families (around 1000 children and adults) every week! Most of the families are working hard to meet the basic cost of living in this difficult time. The Food Pantry often helps people stretch their supplies just enough to get through the month on very limited incomes by supplying them with about 50 lbs of food each visit.
