A Ukrainian mother and her baby receive nutritious meals at a Vitafood distribution.
Since the conflict in Ukraine began in 2022, over 10 million people have been displaced from their homes, while millions more remain in active combat zones — enduring days without clean water, nourishing food and safe housing.
Now, more than ever, these families need our help. God calls us to stand with our suffering brothers and sisters in Christian solidarity.
Since the conflict began, Cross Catholic Outreach has been working with our trusted ministry partners to share Christ’s love in the midst of suffering. We are working alongside the Dicastery for the Service of Charity and our partners in Poland and Moldova to deliver ambulances, food, medical supplies and mobility aids directly to Ukraine’s most vulnerable communities and displaced people. But we can’t do it without you. Give generously today and accompany them until the peace of Christ reigns true in our world.
Now is your chance to make an act of Christian solidarity with your brothers and sisters who are in crisis. Join us in our call to usher in an era of peace and bring each child of God to greater safety and strength. Give today!

We are a Catholic ministry that partners with bishops, priests, and religious and lay workers to support Food, Water & Health, Housing, Kids & Education, Women & Girls, Disaster Relief and Farming & Loans opportunities and to share the love of our Lord Jesus Christ with the poor and vulnerable in over 30 countries around the world.
We meticulously honor the intent of our donors. Proceeds are restricted to the specific project for which they are raised, along with the fundraising and administrative expenses of that project. If more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, any excess funds will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry. Out of the combined total of all cash and material goods donated to Cross Catholic Outreach in a typical year, more than 94% goes directly to programs that help the poor and vulnerable.
Donations from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures for this project incurred through June 30, 2027, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, if any, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
