Summertime Giving

Dear Friends of Catholic Charities,

As summer begins, many of us look forward to longer days, time with family, and moments of
rest and renewal. Yet for many of our neighbors across Southwest Florida, summer can also bring increased hardship — children without consistent meals when school is out, families struggling to make ends meet with increased utility bills, and vulnerable individuals searching for hope during difficult times.

At Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice, our mission is rooted in the Gospel call to love and serve one another with compassion anddignity. Every day, all are reminded that Christ is present in those who are hungry, hurting, lonely, or in need of support. Through the generosity of faithful supporters like you, all can be the hands and feet of Christ in our community.

Your kindness provides critical assistance to children, families, seniors, and individuals in crisis throughout Southwest Florida. From food assistance and housing support to counseling, youth programs, and care for mothers and children, your generosity brings not only relief, but also hope, encouragement, and the reminder that no one walks alone.
