With changing priorities for U.S. government humanitarian assistance, our most vulnerable sisters and brothers are being affected around the world. Due to funding challenges, people need us more than ever.

An anonymous donor has stepped forward with a $1 million challenge to help fill this gap and sustain our essential programs. This donor has called on us to raise up to $1 million more to double our impact—by June 30!

Your care is a blessing—whether you are providing nutritious food and clean water for families in places like Kenya and Nigeria, safe shelter to people who have lost everything in disasters, or relief for people feeling the anguish of war.

Since our beginnings more than 80 years ago—with a groundswell of support from generous Catholics in the aftermath of World War II—it is our donors in the United States who breathe life into our work.

Private funding is needed now more than ever to ensure that our neighbors around the world can still feed their families in times of hunger, find shelter when disasters strike and receive safe haven from the devastation of war.

Please make a generous gift today.
