Jackie's Success Story

Jackie’s life in recent years has been much different from what she’s used to. After spending five years in jail, Jackie was released with nowhere to go. Going from jail to homeless, Jackie found herself somewhere she’d never been before…in need of help.

Sportsman's Warehouse selected the Council of Community Services as the charity of choice for their annual Ladies Night Out event.

15th Annual Empty Bowl Fundraiser: $62,000 Raised

It was a night of auction fun and incredible people! Together a sold out crowd raised $62,000 to support the 11 programs offered by the Council of Community Services.

To all who attended, donated, and supported thank you! Your support means meals to eat, a roof overhead, clothes to wear, and hope of a better future for those seeking to improve their lives. Thank you for making a difference!

A special thank you to these Empty Bowl sponsors!

Emergency Medical/Dental Assistance

Medical and dental emergencies are an unfortunate reality. When a medical or dental emergency arises it can impact every aspect of life from home to work. This impact is even more catastrophic when someone finds themselves unable to cover the cost of the medical or dental care they need.

Whether it's a prescription medication, eye glasses, tooth extraction, or something else, the Council of Community Services may be able to help.

How You're Helping

Meet Gina...

I am the Intake Specialist for the Food Pantry. The Food Pantry is my favorite program at CCS because I have more opportunity to get to know clients and help others with a hand up while seeing the positive outcomes of our programs.

While originally from South Dakota, I have been in Gillette for 40 years. Outside of work I like walking, dig-in-the dirt flower therapy, and a variety of live performances from theatre to rock concerts. I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my fur babies- 3 dogs and 2 cats. I recently became a State of Wyoming Certified Peer Specialist, one of less than 80 in the state!
