Gifts support agencies working to provide critical aid, including food and water, emergency shelter, financial assistance, crisis counseling, and logistical support. Donations can be made at www.catholiccharitiesusa.org.

Haitian Earthquake
With the recent earthquake in Haiti, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) field staff are identifying critical needs and coordinating the delivery of life-saving supplies.Based on past CRS disaster relief efforts, tarps, blankets, medical equipment, food, and other emergency supplies will be critical over the next several days. Please consider donating here.

Afghan Refugees
Afghan refugees are arriving to Fort McCoy located in Tomah, WI and volunteer efforts are being coordinated by local Catholic Charities agencies. Food and shelter is being provided by the US military, but there are still ways that people can help. Catholic Charities La Crosse has created Amazon and Target charitable donation lists for items in need, and Catholic Charities for the Dioceses of La Crosse and Green Bay have websites where interested volunteers with legal, social work, counseling, education and immigration/refugee experience are encouraged to volunteer.
