zz2024 Elk Island Catholic Schools Refugees and Newcomers Lenten Challenge

Raising funds for Catholic Social Services Sign of Hope

$2,026.85raised of $10,000.00

Campaign Ended June 30, 2024

This Lent EICS is continuing to partner with Catholic Social Services to support Refugees and Newcomers. 

Every day Catholic Social Services is called upon to support women, men and children coming from countries such as Syria, Dominican Republic of Congo, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Venezuela, Honduras…. who have fled their country of origin in search of safety and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Presently CSS provides settlement support to clients in need of emergency accommodation. Many are arriving with few personal items and limited financial means.

Donations made to this Lenten Campaign will go towards Catholic Social Services, Refugees and Newcomers Fund which helps CSS respond to the urgent needs of these clients, and allows us to provide food, clothing, school supplies and accommodations for the refugees who need it most.
