For communities experiencing loss due to flooding or other natural disasters, Catholic Charities provides outreach through coordination of volunteer support personnel, soliciting donations, and reflecting God’s face to the community at large. Regardless of race, creed, or socioeconomic status, Catholic Charities is there to help.

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Toledo also assists where needed across the United States. From helping the eight counties of our diocese affected by recent floods, to our continuing relationship with hurricane-torn Houma-Thibodaux diocese in Louisiana, Catholic Charities remains a viable presence.

Service to those in need would not be possible without your help. Contact Catholic Charities today to see how you can make a difference in people's lives.

Responding to Gustav

Our sister diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Louisiana suffered a direct hit from Hurricane Gustav. Several homes, churches and schools are damaged and flooding is throughout the diocese with roads closed for the next several days. The Houma-Thibodaux diocese was one of the first responder with $5,000 given immediately to us after hearing of the floods in our diocese. Please continue with your prayers for our partner diocese as well as for those along the gulf coast.

Catholic Charities Diocese of Toledo is collecting financial donations to help our sister diocese and those along the gulf coast area. Donations will be used to fund local Catholic Charities agencies’ and the Houma-Thibodaux diocese in their emergency and long-term relief efforts.
