Helping those affected by the 2009 Floods across North Dakota

During this time of flooding and flood recovery, Catholic Charities North Dakota is staying true to our mission of protecting the poor and vulnerable. We will be there to assist those in need as they move through the recovery process

How is Catholic Charities North Dakota helping?

* Emergency Flood Assistance - Helping those with immediate needs for food, shelter, transportation, medication, clothing, household essentials, and clean-up due to flooding

* Recruiting Volunteers - Recruiting volunteers from Parishes to assist with sandbag removal and clean-up efforts. You can get a group together and make a difference in a flood stricken community.

* Working with Parishes to identify those who will need help with recovery so that we can help our neighbors return to normalcy.

* Working with other voluntary agencies to provide Case Management to ensure the long-term recovery of our citizens and communities.

* Providing mental health services to those coping with the affects of the floods and aftermath

For any of these services, please contact us (link to chardy@catholiccharitiesnd.org) or call your nearest office.
