Catholic Relief Services — the international humanitarian relief and development organization of the U.S. Catholic Church — is organizing a response to the tragedy in the Bahamas.

CRS, along with local partners, is working quickly to assess immediate needs. Donations help bring relief — in the form of food, emergency shelter, and safe water — to affected families. People impacted by Hurricane Dorian urgently need your help. To donate, or for more information, visit: Hurricane Dorian support

Please continue to pray for everyone along the southeast coast as they prepare for Hurricane Dorian.
