BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPRUD) — Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Baton Rouge is seeking donors for its Christmas program to help families and seniors in need.
More than 500 families and clients were screened and vetted by the group in early September, Catholic Charities said in a news release.
“Our program not only enriches our clients’ lives and Christmases, but donors say it makes their Christmas more meaningful,” said Kathryn Widert, CCDBR’s communications coordinator.
Donors who participate in the Christmas program can choose recipient families. Donors will be able to shop from customers’ wish lists or provide gift cards, according to a news release.
