Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City has kicked off its annual appeal with the theme “The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the maker of them all,” from Proverbs 22:2.
“For more than 100 years, Catholic Charities has been serving our neighbors and making a difference in the lives of men, women, children and families – all thanks to your generous support through financial gifts and prayer,” Archbishop Coakley said. “Together we can improve the lives of everyone served through the programs at Catholic Charities and assist the most vulnerable in our communities.”
This past year, Catholic Charities raised more than $2.7 million during the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal! This year, the goal is to raise $2.8 million – with every dollar going to assist the vulnerable members of the community.
“If you look around, you can see the scars of homelessness and poverty every day in Oklahoma,” said Christi Jeffreys, director of annual giving. “The Catholic Charities Annual Appeal helps those in our community who need help, mercy and hope.”
