Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
To be a true friend of the poor, we must meet their needs when disasters strike. During these challenging times, Cross Catholic Outreach works through its partners on the ground to deliver immediate relief supplies and support long-term recovery efforts.
In 2019, your gifts enabled Cross Catholic Outreach to ship about $251,000 in recovery supplies, in addition to cash grants, to disaster-affected areas ranging from Sub-Saharan Africa to right here in the United States. These deliveries were a godsend to hurricane, volcano, drought and famine survivors who were desperately praying for help.
For example, while Cross Catholic Outreach continued to aid in the long-term recovery of Guatemalan families who survived the brutal Fuego volcanic eruption, we also turned our attention toward Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas.

After Hurricane Florence brought flash flooding and destruction to the Carolinas in September 2018, Cross Catholic Outreach quickly swung into action. Partnering with Operation Compassion, we sent three containers of emergency aid. “Blessing Buckets,” each containing food, water, hygiene items and a Bible, were distributed through churches in both North and South Carolina.
