Become a Member of the Divine Society
Catholic Charities Jacksonville has put our faith into action to serve the most vulnerable in our community for more than 75 years. Our programs rely on financial support from corporate sponsors and individuals who come together to provide more than $1 million each year to Transform Lives.
Catholic Charities Jacksonville is grateful to be supported by the Divine Society, an exclusive sustainer society formed to engage and celebrate donors. The Divine Society has provided a way for our most involved contributors to collectively support our programs in a deeper way, allowing us to surpass our goals and supporting our team as we served over 33,000 clients last year.
We request that members allow us to apply donations where they are most urgently needed, but if a particular program has deeper meaning to you, you may certainly earmark your gift toward your program of choice.
