Why Make a Financial Gift?
Enable personalized support
As a lay Catholic organization, our members work one-on-one with our neighbors, supporting them with friendship, faith, and service—whatever it is our neighbors need to get back on their feet and on a path towards self-sustainability.
We’re here to help
We are deeply embedded in the communities we serve, having helped our neighbors in the Metro-Detroit area break out of systemic poverty for more than 136 years. Our neighbors know that we’re always there to help, and with your support, we always will be.
Every dollar does good
We are responsible, efficient, and sustainable with the funding we receive, ensuring each donation makes the biggest impact possible.
