Thousands more receive grocery bags of food for their families directly from the agency.
The Catholic Social Agency has tremendous need for food on an on-going basis. To celebrate the month of our Mother, the Notre Dame Club of the Lehigh Valley will collect food donations on behalf of the Catholic Social Agency from May 21st through May 31st. Please consider helping the hungry in our area, especially during the month of our Mother. The Lehigh Valley Club will once again take-on its arch rivals in one of the greatest sports of all time involving grass and flying objects. So mark your calendars now for this fun outing scheduled for Monday, June 12th at Olde Homestead.
