"While the scale of Hurricane Ian's impact on our neighbors in
Florida and the southeast U.S.
will continue to be realized over the next few hours and days,
CCUSA is committed to the region for as long as it takes to
recover," said Sister Donna Markham,
President and CEO of CCUSA. "Catholic Charities staff and
volunteers are standing by and ready to respond to the most
pressing humanitarian needs as they evolve."
Donations will provide much-needed support -- including shelter,
food and other humanitarian needs -- to those impacted by the
disaster. Catholic Charities USA
will direct 100 percent of the funds raised through this effort to
its agencies that are working with residents impacted by Hurricane
Ida.
CCUSA and its disaster response teams have a long history of
mobilizing quickly to meet the needs of those affected by
catastrophic events in the U.S. and its territories. This work
begins with direct relief to meet immediate needs. It continues –
sometimes for many years – with long-term relief efforts that help
individuals and families rebuild their lives through housing and
home repairs, financial assistance and crisis counseling.
