CATHOLIC
CHARITIES ANNUAL APPEAL
During the holiday season, many people look for a way to express their gratitude for God's blessings. Hunger never takes a holiday: For too many children in our community, their only Christmas wish is for a hot dinner & clean bed, a safe place for their families to live and maybe a pair of shoes that fit. Your holiday gift to
Catholic Charities can make their Christmas warmer and their futures brighter. To make your pledge today call (216) 696-6525 or (800) 869-6525, Ext. 1910, or visit
www.cdcf.org.
