Make Your Gift Special by Honoring or Remembering a Loved One

Say thank you, remember an important person in your life, or celebrate special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays by making a gift to Catholic Social Service in that person's name. You can also make a memorial gift in the name of a deceased person; remembering those who have touched your life in a special way can comfort and console loved ones while also helping others to succeed in their life. Catholic Social Service will send a card or letter on your behalf to the honoree or to the deceased person's family. The notification will not include the amount of your gift. As a donor, you will receive a separate acknowledgment of your charitable donation for your own records.

Make Your Gift Go Even Further in an Endowment Fund

The Catholic Social Service Endowment Fund: The Catholic Social Service Endowment Fund ensures on-going service for those in need in southwest Kansas. Gifts to the endowment are restricted, and invested, so that interest earnings can be used to fund Catholic Social Service programs well into the future.
