First Step for Change

Catholic Charities is currently collecting donations for the First Step for Change campaign that began in parishes on Mother’s Day and ended in parishes Father’s Day — honoring the faith, humility and love it takes to raise a child, and recognizing that many parents lack adequate financial resources for their children.  Funds raised through this campaign assist low-income expectant parents and families with food, formula, clothing, diapers, and other items essential to a child’s health, safety and well-being.

All money collected at your local parish will help to meet the needs in your own community!  Thank you for joining us in supporting this pro-life campaign.

We will continue with online collections throughout the month of July!

For questions, please contact Jennifer Lucarelli at 330-744-8451 or jlucarelli@youngstowndiocese.org.

You can support and share our online donation option or mail donations directly to Catholic Charities:
