We need your help! Food donations are down 45 percent and families are hungry.
Our St. Lucy Food Project has been working hard and creatively during #COVID_19 to keep the shelves stocked with nonperishable food at our three Catholic Charities pantries and 57 other community food pantries throughout the 21 counties and seven cities of the Diocese of Arlington.
But the need for food is greater than ever, as families grapple with the coronavirus itself, or its economic consequences. Despite our efforts, food donations overall are down 45 percent over last year.
You can help us ensure our neighbors have the food they need to feed their families.
Your online gift designating the St. Lucy Food Project ensures our warehouse can continue to deliver food to the vulnerable in our diocese: https://secure.ccda.net/Give/Give/Donate/Giving.aspx

• Drop off food at one of our no-contact or Sunday parish food drives.
• Drop off food to our pantries at Christ House, Alexandria, Leesburg Regional Office, or Loaves and Fishes, Front Royal or to at the St. Lucy Food warehouse.
• Ask your pastor to host a food drive at your parish. Forty seven of 70 parishes participate in food drives. Contact the outreach specialist at 703-479-2975, EXT 103; or [email protected].

Due to the pandemic, our Cars For Families program is suspended, and we are unable to donate cars to families in need. The fact that most local DMV offices are closed we cannot process cars to give them away.
However we have another program where we can have the car picked up and towed away to be sold. The proceeds will come to Catholic Charities and you will receive an IRS form 1098-C which will allow you to deduct whatever is received for the car as a donation to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington.
To have the car picked up please call our dedicated call center number 844-527-2232.
Please monitor our website at www.ccda.net for information regarding a resumption of this ministry.
