Information about the Annual Appeal
 

As you do for others, you do for Christ.

2008 Annual Appeal Goal is $2.4 Million

Catholic Charities’ ministry unites us in our journey of faith to help others in need. Your sacrificial gifts- prayers, volunteer time, and financial support are appreciated. Thank you for participating in our ministry and helping Catholic Charities meet its 2008 Annual Appeal goal of $2.4 Million.

  • The Annual Appeal provides 57% of the total budget of Catholic Charities.
  • 2008 Annual Appeal Theme: As you do for others, you do for Christ.
  • Catholic Charities’ revenue sources include the Annual Appeal, United Way designated funds, fees and grants, special events, and other contributions.
  • The money raised from the 2008 Catholic Charities Appeal stays right here in Oklahoma to help people in need throughout the Archdiocese (central and western Oklahoma).
  • Please consider pledging one hour’s salary per month to the CC Appeal.
  • Catholic Charities employees are available to speak to church groups and community groups about the agency’s programs and services.

Why Give to Catholic Charities?

  • All that we have is a Gift and to follow Christ we are called to share with each other.
  • The gap between the wealthy and the poor is steadily increasing. There are many persons in our community who do not have the basic things required for human decency: food, housing, health care, jobs.
  • Support of this Annual Appeal goes to people in Oklahoma — our neighbors. This money is used to support more than 50 different programs and services. The work is overseen by a voluntary board of directors that helps ensure that money is directed to the areas of greatest need, and that administrative expenses are minimal.
  • Family Support Services provided case management in 2007 to 986 individuals and responded to 9,740 telephone requests for help.
  • Catholic Charities’ revenue sources include the Annual Appeal, fees and grants, United Way, special events, and other contributions.
  • Catholic Charities continues to raise money for its homeless services. Proceeds form the St. Patrick’s Day Ball benefitted homeless day services in downtown Oklahoma City.
