The U.S. State Department announced a grant of over $240 million to Catholic Relief Services for humanitarian and disaster-response needs.
“This support to CRS also demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to partnering with faith-based organizations that demonstrate faith in action and have proven their ability to deliver humanitarian assistance in the world’s most difficult environments,” according to the announcement. “CRS has a demonstrated track record of excellent humanitarian service and is a natural partner of choice for this type of global assistance.”
