BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Catholic Charities is celebrating its 7th annual HOPE Day!
The single-day event raises money for services provided by Catholic Charities. The first $61,000 of this year's campaign will be matched by donors including United Development, Catholic Health, and OneBridge Benefits.
"It's very exciting. We started HOPE Day seven years ago and on those HOPE Days we've raised over $2,000,000," Catholic Charities President and CEO Deacon Steve Schumer said. "Last year, we raised over $500,000 in one day. We're really hopeful that today turns out the same way."
Catholic Charities has partnered with Resurgence Brewing Company for a limited edition beer called Hops for Hope. A portion of each sale of the beer will go towards the fund. You can celebrate in person with Catholic Charities at the brewery from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
More than 145,000 individuals are assisted through Catholic Charities' 57 programs. If you'd like to donate to the fund, you can do so here.
