Catholic Relief Services (CRS) will host a Mother’s Day Donation Drive this Spring.

Sponsored by the CRS Philadelphia Advocacy Chapter, the event will run through Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The faithful are invited to make a donation to CRS in the name of the mothers in their life – including grandmothers, friends, aunts, sisters, cousins, and all others who hold motherly roles. Upon donation, CRS will mail a post card to those being celebrated.

All proceeds from the drive will benefit Catholic Relief Services’ global work to lift communities and countries out of poverty and help people access food, water, and life-saving medicine. They also support local faith-based and Church partners that provide services and stability to their communities.

To make a donation, please visit https://crs.donordrive.com/campaigns/Celebrating-Mothers. For more information, contact Anne H. Ayella at [email protected].
