Submit agency stories to the CCUSA storybank When you share with us a story about your work and the people you serve in your local community, we can then share your stories not only with a national audience but also the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Our government affairs team goes to the Hill often, and they are able to represent the Catholic Charities ministry more persuasively when they can share local stories that demonstrate the success and efficacy of programs and services. So please share your stories about food programs, affordable housing, family reunification, integrated health, social enterprises, and everything you do! Stories that involve the federal funding you receive are needed especially. We want everyone to know about the great work you are doing! Submit your stories here. CCUSA assisting Catholic Charities of Jackson (Miss.) in time of need As you may know, on August 7th ICE raided several chicken processing plants in the Diocese of Jackson, Miss. Hundreds of people were arrested and put into detention. In response to the raid, Catholic Charities of Jackson is requesting assistance from the network, in the form of deployments to provide case management and/or counseling to families affected. The hope is that each of four parishes assisting the families will be assigned one trauma-informed Spanish speaking mental health clinician and one case manager. CCUSA is assisting Catholic Charities of Jackson by providing travel/lodging reimbursements to agencies which are able to send bilingual, Spanish speaking staff or well-known, credible Spanish speaking volunteers to Mississippi to help serve the families in need. Deployed staff or volunteers must be able to serve for at least seven days. Please respond with your intention to help directly to Brigid McKeon.
