For families in crisis in our community, the needs are unprecedented. Inflation is at an all-time high and so many of the families we serve are just one emergency away from finding themselves in a situation they never thought possible. With programs supporting pregnant women, working families, the disabled and seniors – CCEVA touches the lives of so many who are vulnerable in our community.
For this annual Appeal, we ask you to please consider supporting our work and allow us to use it where it is needed most. We need you now, more than ever!
“Recent news stories have reported that Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia is proposing a shelter for unaccompanied minors in Virginia Beach. Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia does not provide refugee resettlement services. Commonwealth Catholic Charities, based out of Richmond, is the agency proposing the Refugee Resettlement services. The proposed shelter would provide much needed help to innocent children caught in the middle of an immigration crisis. Fortunately, a suitable location near St. Nicholas Catholic Church is available as a result of Seton House’s move to a new facility 18 months ago. This will allow for temporary shelter to keep up to 10 children (some of whom are as young as five years old) safe including medical care and mental health counseling until a more permanent and safer resettlement plan can be established for them (typically 30-60 days). While this is a federally funded program, we are pleased to know these children are being watched over by a caring and loving Catholic community. Please pray for these vulnerable children and for all those who are dedicated to helping them.”
