CRS providing food and equipment

When you donate to Catholic Relief Services, you help us respond to people in need around the world.

Your gifts allow us to immediately and efficiently respond to emergencies like hurricanes, conflict and hunger—and many other crises outside the United States—that can displace families, devastate communities and disrupt people's lives and safety. You provide critical support to families  and communities around the world, with urgent relief for their safety and survival, and support to help them recover and rebuild their lives.

From hurricanes and floods to earthquakes and conflicts, CRS has been on the front lines of emergency response for decades. Your gift helps provide food, shelter, clean water, protection, medical and emotional care in diverse contexts—before, during and long after emergencies fade from the spotlight.

Our staff are largely from communities within which we work, and our approach with local partners ensure relevant, efficient and sustainable impact. Your support is critical for this lifesaving work—sometimes even before crises are reported by the media.

Your donation can help provide:

  • Food and water supplies to families.
  • Shelter for those who have lost their homes and support to rebuild.
  • Medical care and other essential services to those injured or sick.
  • Education and training programs to help communities recover and build resilience.
  • Emotional counseling and support.
  • Recovery of livelihoods and local market systems.
  • Strengthened capacity of local organizations in humanitarian response.

Please donate to help your sisters and brothers in need. Make a generous unrestricted gift today.
