We Need Your Help

The Catholic Charities Appeal gives hope to thousands across the Philadelphia region. But without your support, this isn’t possible. We still have a long way to go to reach our $12.5 million goal before the end of the year. Now, we must remember that reaching our goal is much more than just a number – reaching our goal impacts the lives of our brothers and sisters in need.

Without you, families will go hungry; special needs children won’t have access to quality Catholic education; senior citizens won’t have a safe place to call home; homeless families won’t have shelter. Without your support, 1 in 5 individuals won’t receive the vital services they need to survive.

There is still time to ensure that this grim possibility doesn’t become reality. You can make sure that those in need aren’t turned away. Even the smallest gift can make a huge difference. All donations to the 2019 Catholic Charities Appeal go directly to the 180 beneficiary programs and organizations. Your help is needed now more than ever. Please donate today.
