For more than forty years, the Catholic Charities Appeal of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has reached out to those who need help the most — the poor, the handicapped, the sick and the hungry. Today, the programs and services funded by the Appeal are growing to meet the demands of the new millennium. Since 1958, the Appeal has raised $235 million to assist men, women and children in the five-county Archdiocese regardless of race or religion. Its programs provide services to more than 250,000 people annually.
