We warmly invite all faith communities to aid us in fulfilling our mission!

  It is only through your charitable donations of goods, services and direct financial contributions that we are able to offer assistance to families in need.  Your generosity is tremendously appreciated by us and by those we serve.  Out of every dollar we receive, 95 cents goes directly to those in need, and only five cents provides for administrative overhead.  Thank you for your continued support! 


Your generosity goes a long way:

  • $10 – Meat for a family of four

  • $50 - Groceries for a family of four for one week

  • $200 - An average utility bill for one family

  • $1,500 - Keeps a family safe by paying rent, utilities and groceries for one month

  • $15,000 - Keeps ten families safe buy paying rent, utilities and groceries for one month.

Tribute and Memorial Gifts In Lieu of Flowers

Contribute to Catholic Charities in honor of a person, in memory of someone who has died, or to mark an important occasion.  We will send appropriate acknowledgement of the contribution to you and to the person you specify to receive the notice.


Employee Matching Gifts

Do you know if your employer would match your contribution to Catholic Charities? Many companies match dollar-for-dollar the money their employees give to non-profits. Some also contribute to charities where their employees volunteer.

Contact your Human Resources Department to obtain a matching gift form, fill out the employee portion and mail it to Catholic Charities.


Stocks and Bonds

Catholic Charities also accepts donations of stocks and bonds. 

Please call 904-829-6300 or email info@ccbstaug.org


INC - Investing in Children

Catholic Charities would like to introduce this new monthly program.

With a pledge of steady monthly support from you, we will be able to assist additional families with everyday basics such as food, shelter (rent money), clothing and clean water (utility money).

By investing a pledged amount each month, your money will go further to help local children without stressing your budget.  You can space your donation out over 12 months instead of writing one large check.


Community Partners (Available only in Flagler County)

We have teamed up with Albertsons Community Partners program.  Catholic Charities receives up to 4% of the money you spend on groceries at Albertsons stores. We use these donations to help local children and families.

For those of you who already have our Community Partners card, you can register by simply presenting it along with your Preferred Savings card for scanning during checkout. That's it!  Once you have registered, you no longer need to carry your Community Partners card.

New supporters can join the program by e-mailing Sandy or calling our office at (904) 829-6300 to request a card.  Please provide us with your full name and mailing address.
