As the holiday season approaches, Catholic Charities is reminded once again of the countless neighbors who walk through our doors carrying burdens heavier than most of us will ever know. Among them was Mrs. Elena, an 82-year-old widow who had spent the past few holidays alone. Her fixed income covered her basics, but the rising cost of living left little room for anything else—especially companionship, care, and comfort during the season she used to love most.

​

One afternoon, a volunteer from Catholic Charities knocked on her door with a simple holiday care package and a warm smile. Inside were essentials, a few thoughtful gifts, and a handwritten note from a local youth wishing her peace and joy. What seemed like a small gesture became something much greater for Elena—a reminder that she was not forgotten, that her community still held her close, and that love still found its way to her doorstep.

​

This is what Catholic Charities does every day.
We lift spirits. We provide stability. We restore hope.

​

And this Giving Tuesday, you can be part of that mission.

​

Through our Giving Hub, your generosity goes exactly where it’s needed most—food for the hungry, care packages for isolated seniors, rental assistance for families on the brink, and compassionate support for anyone who needs a helping hand.

​

Every gift—big or small—creates a story like Elena’s.

​

This Giving Tuesday, December 2nd,  join us in filling our community with compassion.
Give through the Giving Hub, and help us bring hope, dignity, and love to our neighbors in need.

​

Together, we can remind every person we serve that they are seen, they are valued, and they are never alone.
