Pakistan Relief Efforts-
Currently, the ongoing flooding in Pakistan is covering one-fifth of the country. Between 16 and 20 million people have been displaced by the floodwaters; many of them have lost their homes, their crops, their livestock and their entire livelihoods. Our sisters and brothers in Pakistan are badly in need of assistance. If you would like to donate to Catholic Relief Services work on the relief efforts, you may do so by clicking here. Or, you can send checks to Catholic Relief Services, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21203. In the memo portion please write: Pakistan Flooding. To learn more about what Catholic Relief Services is doing, and about the situation in Pakistan, you may also visit Catholic Relief Services: Giving Hope to a World in Need.
