Three hurricanes, two tornadoes, a leap year, and a pandemic, oh my! What a year 2020 has been! I fervently believe that the only way humanity has survived this year has been through God’s grace and your joy.
Some of us have had more joyful moments than others this year. Unfortunately, we at Catholic Charities of North Louisiana, have seen too many in despair. In fact, we have provided a 500% increase in rental payments for clients in the first quarter of our fiscal year versus this same time last year! People in our communities are hurting.
This is where you and I, members of the Catholic community, can rally to help uplift our neighbors. As a 501c3 nonprofit, CCNLA is always is need of two things: donations and volunteers. Our staff is small, but our hearts are huge. With 13 people in three offices covering 16 parishes, there is never enough time in the day to do it all. Whether you have an hour a week or an entire summer to help, we can assuredly find ways to make use of your time, talents, and energy.
Perhaps time is not what you can donate. Did your investment account do well this year? Did you stow away your stimulus check? Did you manage to keep your job through the pandemic and come out financially unscathed? Please consider making a financial contribution to our little organization that makes a big impact. YOU are Catholic Charities of North Louisiana. Please help us share your joy!
