Catholic Charities will kick off its annual Season of Giving Campaign on Nov. 1. This 60-day fund drive will benefit those in need throughout the Diocese of Youngstown.
Monetary gifts will provide families with stable housing, food, utility assistance, and, above all, an expression of the love of God and compassion for others.
All donations will pass through local Catholic Charities agencies in the six-county area with direct assistance to individuals and families. Monetary donations can be made by visiting ccdoy.org or via the U.S. Mail (Catholic Charities Administrative Office, c/o Jillian Phillips, 232 Seneca Ave. NE, Warren, Ohio 44481).
