For communities experiencing loss due to flooding or other natural disasters, Catholic Charities provides outreach through coordination of volunteer support personnel, soliciting donations, and reflecting God’s face to the community at large.  Regardless of race, creed, or socioeconomic status, Catholic Charities is there to help.

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Toledo also assists where needed across the United States. From helping the eight counties of our diocese affected by recent floods, to our continuing relationship with hurricane-torn Houma-Thibodaux diocese in Louisiana, Catholic Charities remains a viable presence.

Service to those in need would not be possible without your help. You can give directly to the Disaster Relief Fund or you can contact Catholic Charities today to see how you can make a difference in people's lives.

March, 2011 Floods

The Diocese of Toledo has experienced severe flooding in several of our counties.  Hardest hit has been Richland and Hancock counties.  Full damage and results are yet to be determined, but many have lost furnaces, hot water tanks, damage to foundations and, in some cases, a total loss to all their household goods.  Catholic Charities' staff is assessing local communities currently.  Monetary Donations are needed.  Please send your donations to Catholic Charities- Flood Disaster Response, 1933 Spielbusch Ave., Toledo, OH 43604.  We also ask for your prayers for our brothers and sisters who are suffering from this most recent flood disaster.  We will provide more information as it becomes available.
