Families Need Our Help to Start a New Life in Our Community
Thousands of families are coming to the United States fleeing violence and persecution in their homeland. Forced to leave their loved ones and homes behind, they arrive with virtually no possessions as they begin new lives in our community. Many of these new arrivals receive extremely limited assistance from the U.S. government, meaning they will depend on the kindness of strangers to help them on their path to self-sufficiency.

We are also happy to take donations of gifts cards from Target or Walmart. You can drop off gift cards at the Catholic Charities main office at 2900 Louisiana, Houston, TX 77006, located in Midtown Houston; or mail them to that address, attention: Refugee Resettlement Program.
