Operation Rice Bowl

Thank you for participating in Operation Rice Bowl this year!
Your participation in Operation Rice Bowl ensures that Catholic Relief Services can continue to provide assistance to those in need in more than 100 countries. Seventy-five percent of your gifts will go to CRS to help farmers in Bolivia receive training to improve crop yields, children in Afghanistan gain more opportunities for quality education, communities in Ethiopia access reliable water sources even during times of drought, and fund many other vital projects. Twenty-five percent of your gifts remain in your diocese to support local hunger and poverty alleviation efforts.

Start planning for Lent 2011!
If your faith community would like to participate in Operation Rice Bowl 2011 you may place an order now. Your order will ship in early-January 2011, six weeks ahead of Lent.

Please take a moment to let us know your thoughts about this year’s Operation Rice Bowl so we can continue to provide useful resources and enrich your Lenten experience.
