Holy Thursday Collection for Fraser and CRS

Our Holy Thursday collection will assist homeless young people in Fargo and displaced children in Syria. 

Fraser, Ltd, is in the process of opening 21 dormitory-style rooms to shelter homeless people ages 18-26 years, a growing segment of our population needing housing, through their P.S.H. Program – Permanent Supportive Housing.

We’ll learn more about their specific needs and how we can help, much like we did for Cooper House, at our Social Justice Meeting on May 6th. 

The current 3 year civil war in Syria has resulted in over 100,000 deaths and 2.5 million refugees. Catholic Relief Services and its partners have assisted 250,000 war-affected Syrians with shelter assistance, winterized materials, food support, medical care, education for children and trauma counseling. Their health clinics are serving thousands, treating everything from life-threatening wounds to chronic illnesses. In Jordan, their education programs for Syrian children are so successful that they are piloting the first conflict-sensitive education training in the country.

 If you would like to contribute to this collection, please make your check payable to Nativity.
