Christmas Second Collection

The Second Collection, which will be held on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, will benefit Catholic Charities Atlanta. Your gift will enable a family to break the cycle of poverty and become self-reliant finally. Last year, Catholic Charities served nearly 12,000 individuals.

Every donation—large or small—nourishes the hope of those most vulnerable and helps families return to independence.
