The CCFOWR has continued to support Catholic families via our emergency food/gift card program through this calendar year. These gift cards are intended to give a hand up to families in both school and parish communities who require urgent support. The cards are primarily intended for food but can also be utilized to fund other essentials, including medicine, diapers, personal hygiene products. Other unique essential needs may also qualify for funding support, all determined by a case for support that is presented to the CCFOWR President.
This program, introduced in 2021, is part of the Foundation's Strategic Plan and we will continue the program until the available funds allocation has been exhausted. Needy families should contact their Catholic school principal or parish priest for more details.
It is our great hope that the program can continue in 2025 - watch here for more details!
