Giving Season
The current economic situation has been devastating for so many families. This Giving Season we are raising money to help provide food, living assistance, shelter, and other basic needs to our most vulnerable neighbors. Consider supporting those in need by making a gift to our Hope and Resilience Fund.
Your Gift Matters
Giving Season runs from November 15-December 31 and gifts to the Hope and Resilience Fund can be directed toward one of our five multi-service centers or to the area of greatest need.
Your gift will help provide food, shelter, and basic needs to individuals and families within our communities.
Giving Help and Hope to Those in Need
Your support allows Catholic Charities to provide vital assistance in four key areas:
Basic Needs
1 in 3 people in Eastern Massachusetts struggle with food insecurity and 57% lack the savings to cover unexpected bills.
Family & Youth Services
Only 1 in 4 Boston children under 5 has access to high-quality childcare and school-aged children need supportive places to go after school.
Refugee & Immigrant Services
Upon arriving in Boston, individuals face daunting linguistic, economic, cultural, and legal challenges.
Adult Education & Workforce Development
The wage gap between natives and non-native speakers with the same skillset is $24,000.
“The last month before assistance I had to choose between food and clothes for my kids.”
