Hurricane Ian 2022
We are currently operating with one dedicated case manager to provide assistance to both locally impacted disaster victims (tornado in Kings Point/Delray Beach) and in sending needed support and supplies (primarily hygiene items) to our partners in the hardest hit areas on Florida's west coast.
Program Status: Active
Catholic Charities Disaster Recovery Program was launched in 2017 when Hurricane Irma hit our service area. After two years, Catholic Charities closed the program due to allocated funds being exhausted. We stand ready to reopen this program when there is a need (national disaster declaration in our service area).
Nationally, Catholic Charities USA has expertise in disaster recovery and we are committed to this cause. Catholic Charities participates with Palm Beach County Emergency Services on the Long-Term Recovery Group. Should our diocese suffer a natural disaster severe enough to warrant an emergency declaration, we will re-launch this program to serve our community in a time of need.
In any emergency event, Catholic Charities Counseling Program is always a source of support to survivors. Referrals to our Counseling services can be made by calling 1-844-848-6777 or emailing Counseling@ccdpb.org.
