Help Welcome Immigrants and COVID-impacted Clients by Making a Hope Kit Catholic Charities works with thousand of immigrants every year. When immigrants and their families arrive in the United States, they often have few possessions to their name. That is when Catholic Charities, Diocese of St. Petersburg steps in. The immigrants we serve are in the United States legally. We provide them services to navigate the immigration system at far lower costs than they would otherwise have to pay if they used services from private lawyers and immigration groups. Catholic Charities will be collecting household items for our immigrant families, BUT ALSO for families near homelessness who have been devastated by the COVID pandemic. Please consider putting together one or more of the Hope Kits described below. Each kit should consist of new items placed in a single container and ready for delivery. Be creative! Fill a laundry basket with cleaning supplies, a wastebasket with kitchen essentials or any other suitable container that can be presented as a gift. These kits can be dropped off at any of the Catholic Charities locations listed below.
