The CRS Rice Bowl program, run annually during the season of Lent since 1975, benefits those in need both abroad and domestically. While 75 percent of the Rice Bowl collection supports CRS’s relief around the world in more than 100 different countries per year, 25 percent of funds stay in each U.S. diocese, aiding hunger and poverty alleviation efforts.
“Thank you for living your faith and answering the prayers of so many,” Callahan continued. “We are blessed to have you as part of the CRS family. On behalf of the people you help by your care, please accept my heartfelt appreciation.”
