Brett's Two Cents

Hello, everybody. Many of you have been asking how you can help or where you should donate to support efforts against the pandemic, beyond just our
community and the Food Closet.
 
Last month, March 22 ^nd was (or would have been) the weekend for the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) collection, which supports programs that offer relief and resettlement for victims of persecution, war, and natural disasters; develop projects to improving living conditions for the poor; provide legal services to poor immigrants; support peace and reconciliation work for people suffering from violence; and advocate for the powerless. The prayer card below would have been available along with the collection envelopes.
 
Now, with the pandemic, CRS is working to distribute hygiene kits, personal protection equipment, lifesaving communication, and access to food and clean water in the world’s most vulnerable communities. They’ve set up a fund specifically to help support their response effort to COVID-19. If you are looking for another way to help people during this time, consider donating to this fund and support the work CRS is doing.
