Catholic Charities USA Presents $1 Million for Florida Disaster
Relief After Hurricane Ian

Sister Donna Markham, OP, PhD, President and CEO of Catholic
Charities USA, traveled to storm-ravaged Florida this week to present
checks totaling $1 million to be distributed among Catholic Charities
agencies in Florida serving those impacted by Hurricane Ian.

"I'm amazed by the excellent relief efforts planned and executed by
Catholic Charities agencies in the two short weeks since Hurricane
Ian devastated Southwestern Florida," said Sister Donna Markham.
"What I've seen during my visit to Catholic Charities of Venice and
St. Petersburg is nothing short of a miracle. I am forever thankful
for the generosity of people across the country who continue to
donate to CCUSA to support the long-term recovery efforts
ahead." 

Read more about Sister Donna's visit to Catholic Charities agencies
in Florida. All donations to CCUSA disaster response efforts go
directly to the local Catholic Charities agencies working in the
affected communities to provide relief and recovery support to their
neighbors in need.
