Supply the Mission

Caring for so many people each year takes a massive amount of resources. Families, groups, churches, and businesses share the power of many hands to take up collections for various programs and services within Catholic Charities.

As we work towards the complete care of our clients, most of the donated materials can help many different people. A food donation to the food pantry can help a family getting counseling. Diapers and wipes help families in our shelters, food pantry, and refugee program.

There is always an option to donate funds for us to purchase any of these needs. In many cases we have vendors where we have much better buying power that in a regular store.

For general questions or to plan a donation drive/event, contact Emily Klisares at eklisares@catholiccharitiesdm.org.
