CATHOLIC CHARITIES MOTHER’S DAY ANNUAL SECOND COLLECTION

May 10, 2026

Over 60,000 moms in need come to us each year. At Catholic Charities we provide vital services like food, housing, and diapers for families throughout Cook and Lake counties. Offering support at a critical moment often changes the course of a mom’s life. Your gift this Mother’s Day gives hope to moms who need it most. Join us!

Read about Marisol*, a mother who turned to Catholic Charities for help:

Marisol had always worked hard to care for her daughter. But as prices continued to rise for rent, groceries, and utilities, the mounting financial pressure became almost too difficult to manage. When Marisol turned to Catholic Charities, she found compassionate support at a moment when she needed it most. With financial help meeting urgent needs and guidance towards greater stability, she was able to regain her footing and move from surviving to thriving. “Every month felt like I was barely holding on. I was exhausted… Catholic Charities helped lift that weight.”
