WHAT'S HAPPENING

This year, Catholic Charities is planning on helping over 2,000 children with the Back To School Drive to provide the supplies they need for this upcoming school year. Children whose families are having difficulty making ends meet and cannot afford those back to school items will be ready for school with your help. Distribution of the school supplies will begin on August 18th through August 27th while supplies last. Click HERE to donate now.

MORE SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED
