Today is HOPE Day, our 24-hour match challenge day of giving across Western New York. The is our sixth annual HOPE Day.

The first $111,000 raised today on HOPE Day will be matched dollar-for-dollar, with gifts from donors who wish to remain anonymous, in the ongoing effort to reach the annual Appeal’s $9.5 million goal.

Your contribution TODAY goes toward vital services like mental health counseling for all ages, educational and vocational advancement services, family safety and stabilization services, basic emergency assistance such as food pantries, family support services, and so much more. Every dollar makes a difference in providing HOPE right here in Western New York.

The annual Appeal helps fund 57 programs and services administered by Catholic Charities across all eight counties of Western New York, along with several ministries that benefit all parishes through the Diocese of Buffalo’s Fund for the Faith. Catholic Charities’ programs and services helped more than 134,000 individuals of all faiths, ages and ethnicities in 2022.

Double your impact and double the HOPE!

Thank you to our sponsors!
