• Your donation will mean supporting a local organization that best understands local needs. We have been serving our community since 1727!
   
• Catholic Charities is one of the most effective human service organizations in the southern United States. Every dollar given to the ACA is leveraged many times more through contributed goods and services.
   
• The ACA is a call to action. The words of Archbishop Philip M. Hannon, written as an ACA appeal after Hurricane Betsy, ring true in our post-Katrina world:

"Time moves so very fast and there is so much to be done. They are asking - has the city lost its reason for continued existence? We reply - not if the people posses great courage and compassion."
