It's a Giving Thing

Giving is a cornerstone of our faith, and a cornerstone of our salvation.  Sometimes, however, giving to a large organization can leave us somewhat detached from the good that gift really does.  This is why CRS looks to offer ways of giving that connect and engage us:

• ways for savvy givers to see how their money is being spent;
• ways to give as a community;
• ways to organize fundraisers and earn money for the poor while educating others about the good CRS does;
• ways to make purchases that help lift others out of poverty;
• ways to give gifts to loved ones that are also gifts to vulnerable persons you may never meet in this world;
• ways to make small but deep types of gifts part of daily lives, part of our sacramental lives, part of our Christian lives.

CRS Gift Catalog

Put your faith to work and give the gift of hope. Gifts from the Catholic Relief Services Gift Catalog are blessings to our poorest brothers and sisters overseas. They save lives and tell recipients just how much you care.
