NH CATHOLIC CHARITIES APPEAL

Miracles Happen Everyday

Since 1945, New Hampshire Catholic Charities has responded to the needs of people from every walk of life in every community throughout the state. The agency has comforted grieving families, held the hands of scared children, and provided hope for families struggling through difficult times, and helped people in their times of personal crisis. People like Tanya… Tanya received a notice on her apartment door today that she has two weeks to vacate the building.  This was the second time this year that this had happened. Her landlord couldn’t make his mortgage payment; the bank is foreclosing and wants the building empty before auction. Tanya’s landlord left town and she’d already paid her rent. All this happened in the middle of winter. Not knowing where to turn, Tanya called Catholic Charities for help. We were able to offer a listening ear, while helping her navigate appropriate programs and services available to her. “It’s nice to know that someone cares”. Catholic Charities couldn’t make her problems go away, but at least she didn’t have to go through them alone, and we were able to offer her some resources.

 

With each passing year, the call to help becomes more desperate, more involved, and Catholic Charities is faced with the challenge to answer. The annual appeal is a primary source of funding for Catholic Charities. It is through your generosity that the agency is able to continue its mission of helping and healing. Please give what you can. You make miracles happen when you make a gift. Our Parish Goal: $29,000.
