Thank You for Joining Us Beneath the Crystal Sky
A Night of Elegance, Community, and Impact
On May 20, 2025, Interfaith Outreach of Carmel (IOC) and Joining Hands Benefit Shop welcomed guests to Beneath the Crystal Sky: A Sunset Celebration at Woody’s at Del Mesa. The event was an unforgettable evening of connection, compassion, and community—all in support of the Nancy J. Jones Housing Insecurities Endowment Fund.
From a twilight cocktail hour and an exquisite multi-course dinner by Chef Tim Wood to a spirited live and silent auction and dancing beneath the stars—every moment carried purpose.
Together, we raised critical funds to support local housing initiatives and honor the ongoing legacy of IOC founder Nancy J. Jones. Since 2014, IOC has awarded over $1,000,000 in grants to agencies supporting individuals and families in need.
Special thanks to our presenting sponsor Fremont Bank and to every guest who contributed their time, energy, and heart to this celebration.
We are deeply grateful. Your participation lights the way toward a more secure, supported future for our neighbors in need.
