Provide Humanitarian Aid
When disaster strikes, many make a donation to Catholic Charities because they trust we will get it to the people in need. Indeed, when we receive donations for humanitarian aid, we make a gift directly to those serving in the disaster area, or forward funds to partner organizations such as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). These organizations lead humanitarian and recovery efforts and facilitate pastoral and rebuilding support.
