The Ministers of Presence Guild was founded in 2008 by a group of passionate, caring women dedicated toward serving, advocating for, and empowering those in need on behalf of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fresno. 

Today, the Guild has 47 active members who come together with a purpose of promoting and supporting the mission and work of Catholic Charities. This is accomplished through involvement in special events, volunteer service and representing Catholic Charities to the wider community.

Harvest of Hope is Catholic Charities' largest annual fundraiser that generates revenue to support the programs at Catholic Charities all year long.

This year's Guild Chairs for the 19th Annual Harvest of Hope are Summer Bradford and Jessica Marshall.
