Catholic Relief Services Gift Catalog

Welcome to the CRS Gift Catalog!

Catholic Relief Services is pleased to invite you to take a virtual shopping trip around the world. These pages are brimming with stories of remarkable people whose lives have been saved by the generosity of donors like you.

Though far from comprehensive, this collection reflects the breadth and depth of our work in more than 100 countries. CRS is devoted to alleviating human suffering through programs that feed, shelter, comfort, heal and educate our brothers and sisters who live overseas under the most dire circumstances. The dozen stories presented here represent thousands of life-sustaining little miracles made possible through the compassion of others.

We believe giving to CRS is the ideal way to embrace God's most vulnerable children. But don't just take it from us. Brewster Rickel of Colorado is a veteran of World War II and the Korean War, and is one of our most loyal supporters. He's had a lifelong interest in the plight of children around the world. Brewster tells us he gives to CRS because "You get more bang for your buck!"

CRS is efficient and effective. Last year, 94 percent of the money we spent went directly to programs that lightened the overwhelming burdens of more than 80 million people desperate for help and hope.

Go ahead and take a look…see just how far your heart can reach.
