August is Catholic Charities Month, and we have a heartfelt request. While many
of us associate summer with carefree days and fun activities, it is important to remember that
summer brings unique challenges for those living in poverty. At Catholic Charities, Diocese of
Joliet, the need is greater than ever.

Extreme heat can be unbearable (and sometimes dangerous) for our neighbors without air
conditioning in their homes or vehicles. The current high costs of housing and food have placed
an even greater strain on those who were already struggling. We all feel the pinch, but for families
living at or below the poverty level, this situation can be devastating.

The need for food and shelter in our community has never been greater. In response, we have
expanded our services, but we need your help to continue providing much-needed programs
and services to those in need.

Your generous donation will help us provide food, shelter, and other critical services to our
most vulnerable neighbors. Each gift makes a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
Will you help the poor and vulnerable in honor of Catholic Charities Month?

Thank you for your continued support and for making a difference in our community.
