There are many ways you can support us. From a one-time, $25 donation to a major gift, no donation is insignificant. You can be certain that any gift to St. Catherine’s will be used to support a person in need: a mother struggling to keep her family intact, an abused child, a homeless adult, or other vulnerable individual who needs the kind of help that only St. Catherine’s can provide.
Some donors have spent a lifetime building up the value of their assets, and often wonder how they can share their good fortune by supporting a charitable organization. For those people, a Legacy Gift may be the answer!
