Dear Faithful Friend,

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their courage and dedication remind us of the true cost of freedom.

We also support the veterans who have returned home, carrying both visible and invisible scars from their service.

Last year, local Catholic Charities Agencies served more 100,000 veterans, providing comprehensive support in areas such as healthcare, housing, and employment.

Recently, we highlighted the Catholic Charities network's work with veterans through programs addressing homelessness, mental health challenges, and joblessness. We invite you to read more about these efforts in our new story, "Serving Those Who Served."

Your support makes these programs possible. Thank you for standing with us and the veterans who have given so much for our country.
