Catholic Charities COVID-19 Emergency Response

The best protection from COVID-19 is to stay home – but what if you don’t have a home? People experiencing homelessness are especially vulnerable to COVID-19. 

Catholic Charities is keeping our emergency shelters, opportunity centers, housing and programs for children and families open to provide those most in need safe shelter and support during this time of crisis. 

Can you help us pay for these critical COVID-19 emergency response services? Your gift today will help us:

• Offer increased Emergency Pay for front line staff who put themselves at risk to continue the mission of Catholic Charities

• Serve thousands of meals every day through safe, no-contact food prep and delivery

• Purchase critical cleaning and hygiene supplies such as hand sanitizer and wipes

• Purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff on the frontlines who are taking temperatures and assisting clients who maybe showing symptoms of the virus

• Create social distancing and make-shift isolation spaces inside our emergency shelter and daytime opportunity centers
