Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is organizing a Mother’s Day Donation Drive this spring, sponsored by the CRS Philadelphia Advocacy Chapter. The initiative will continue through Mother's Day, on May 11, 2025. CRS invites individuals to donate in the name of mothers in their lives, such as grandmothers, friends, aunts, sisters, cousins, and others in motherly roles. Donors will receive a postcard from CRS celebrating these maternal figures.

Funds collected from this initiative will support Catholic Relief Services' global mission to combat poverty and ensure access to essentials like food, water, and medicine. Additionally, they aid local faith-based partners and Church organizations that play a significant role in their communities.

Those interested in supporting the cause can make donations via mobilizecrs.donordrive.com by searching for "Philadelphia Advocacy Chapter" in the Fundraiser search box.
