Last year, through the efforts of 906 participating Catholic parishes, schools and groups across 47 states utilizing 149 drop-off centers, Cross Catholic Outreach collected and delivered gift-filled Boxes of Joy to 75,797 children in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Grenada, the Bahamas and Guatemala. This year with the help of over 700 organizations, the Box of Joy program is planning on blessing tens of thousands of children who otherwise would not receive a Christmas gift.
