Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada can not accept goods for Haiti such as food, clothing, or toiletries because we do not have the capacity to ship the goods. We are asking the community to send their cash donations Catholic Relief Services or to the American Red Cross, or other legitimate relief organizations. The local and national emergency services presently are not accepting material goods until they have an organized system in place to accept these kinds of donations.
Thank you for your concern.
