Catholic Charities has begun its Appeal Week 2016 in a push to meet its goal of raising $11 million for the 70 programs and services provided throughout the eight counties of Western New York.
Appeal Week 2016 began Sunday and will end with special emphasis on collections in local churches the weekends of March 12-13 and March 19-20.
The push celebrates the support of Western New Yorkers who have already made a contribution this year, and encourages others who have not already donated to do so now.
