As COVID-19came barreling in with a vengeance, Catholic Charities was prepared to take onthe challenge of the impact of the Pandemic by prioritizing the needs in ourcommunity. We mobilized to provide food, created mental health counselingusing technology and paid rent/mortgage/utility bills to keep people, who lostjobs, in their homes. Life as we knew it was altered for many who came to us forhelp. Catholic Charities answered the plea!At Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice, we created a “culture of caring.” Weprovided the team with laptops so they could work remotely, supplied tentsso staff and volunteers had shade while distributing bags of food on sizzlingsummer days, provided protective gear to keep everyone safe from the virus andencouraged self-care. My unwavering staff continue to provide compassionatecare to all the individuals we serve.Without a doubt, we could not serve those in need alone. We relied on our donorsand volunteers to dig deep to help the tens of thousands whom we served andcontinue to serve. I pray you find hope and take solace in the impact you havemade. Thank you for joining us in this work.Together we are changing lives and your support makes all the difference.Gratefully,Philomena Pereira, Chief Executive Officer
