This Lent EICSD is continuing to partner with Catholic Social Services to support Refugee’s and Newcomers.
Catholic Social Services is currently responding to as many as 60 calls a day from Ukrainians who need our help.
These are women, children, and families who have fled the war in Ukraine in search of safety and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
Since March 2022, CSS has helped more than 2,500 Ukrainian nationals, as well as 2,300 refugees from other countries.
Currently, CSS provides settlement supports to as many as 300 Ukrainians each week. Up to one third of these clients are in need of emergency accommodations. Many are arriving with few personal items and no access to funding.
Donations to Catholic Social Services' Refugee Relief Fund helps CSS respond to the urgent needs of these clients, and allows us to provide food, clothing, school supplies, and accommodations for the Ukrainian nationals and refugees who need it most.
