FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- For more than 50 years, the Poverello House has provided meals, shelter and essential social services to those in need.

On Thursday, you have a chance to raise critical funds for the non-profit with the "Call for Hope" telethon.

In addition to emergency shelter and temporary housing, the non-profit offers a pathway to housing and runs a no-cost, full-service restaurant called Papa Mike's Cafe, named after the founder.

We sat down with CEO Zack Darrah to discuss the non-profit and how you can continue to help.
