• Good Samaritan Tree The Good Samaritan Tree (pictured right) is displayed in our reception area.  Its brass leaves are engraved with the names of people and businesses who have donated to this program.  Some have chosen to honor or remember a friend or family member with their inscriptions.   You can purchase a leaf on our tree for $100 or more.  Inscriptions are limited to 3 lines of 30 characters.  Please click the Leaf button  below to make a contribution and we will send you a receipt.  You are welcome to visit our office and view your leaf.

 

• 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.
