“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”

-Steve Maraboli

Reflecting on 2022, my heart is filled with gratitude. This year, we served an unprecedented number of individuals and families – and we couldn’t have done it without you. We have made many pleas on behalf of those who look to us for help and you answered the call!

While we pray the challenges from this year are behind us, we know the impact of the pandemic, the affordable housing crisis and inflation will be compounded for the most vulnerable among us. People who struggle with mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, homelessness and food insecurity have been hit the hardest. They need individualized counseling, a safe haven from abuse as well as housing and food assistance. With your support, we can continue to meet those needs.

When you make a contribution to Catholic Charities – you are making a difference, you are saving a life. Your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the program of your designation and provides immediate assistance to someone who is struggling.

In 2023, we will celebrate our 110th year of helping others.
When I say we, I mean you and Catholic Charities
– because we could not do this work without you.
Together we have promoted recovery, reduced poverty and strengthened families.
With love in our hearts, we’re lifting others.

May you have a blessed and healthy New Year.
