250 Challenge: Neighbors Helping Neighbors
This summer, many families in our communities are facing financial hardship.
Catholic Charities Boston’s 250 Challenge: Neighbors Helping Neighbors carries forward America’s longstanding values of looking out for our neighbors in need. Gifts will help fund urgent essentials for 250 families, covering groceries, utility bills, and other critical household expenses. Each gift helps a family move through a difficult moment with greater stability, dignity, and hope, reminding them that they are not facing it alone.
