Since 1973, Catholic Charities of Acadiana has provided essential services to those who are experiencing hunger, homelessness, poverty, and situational crisis.

Catholic Charities of Acadiana is a donor-driven, non-profit organization. We rely on the generosity of the community to serve our neighbors who suffer.

 

1 School / 1 Business / 1 Church

Each month, we need one school, one church, and one business to commit to hosting a food drive for FoodNet Food Bank; This provides for our neighbors experiencing hunger, helping to meet their basic human needs and keeping them housed. Could your group claim a month this year?
