What are the most immediate needs to support your organization?
At Catholic Charities, we bear witness to the unseen strength of our neighbors striving to overcome life’s challenges. While many of us rarely think twice about the luxury of air-conditioned homes, cruise-controlled cars or savings accounts, countless individuals and families served by Catholic Charities live without these comforts and focus instead on meeting their most basic needs. You help us bridge this gap. Financial contributions to Catholic Charities help create life-changing experiences every day. Every donation makes a difference. Every gift sparks a change. Every dollar has an impact. Your support enables Catholic Charities to operate effectively and compassionately
