St. Nicholas Partners Appeal

St. Nicholas Partners is an annual appeal to raise money for the following ministries of Catholic Charities of Arkansas, all of which provide services to the most poor and vulnerable among us: immigration services, prison ministry, the free medical clinic, services to victims of domestic violence, refugee resettlement, parish outreach and post-adoption services.

Q. How is this different from other fundraisers?

A. It’s different in two ways. First, “partners” (donors) may designate which Catholic Charities’ program(s) they want their contribution to support. There is also an option to give where the funds are most needed. Second, because the appeal occurs right before Christmas, a donation on behalf of a friend or family member makes a perfect gift.

If making a donation in honor of a loved one, please mail your donation before Dec. 15 using this form and mail to: St. Nicholas Partners, Catholic Charities of Arkansas, P.O. Box 7239, Little Rock, AR 72217-7239. Just indicate on the donation form who the gift is for, and we will send them an acknowledgment of your gift.

Q. What makes St. Nicholas Partners special?

A. Each year, a new card depicting St. Nicholas is specially designed and created for the appeal. These beautiful cards are Catholic Charities’ Christmas greeting to you, and an invitation to become a partner by supporting the ministry of your choice.

Too many people in Arkansas live in poverty and are food insecure. This includes wage earners who have lost jobs, seniors who can’t afford medicine and families living on minimum wage. Some may be our friends and neighbors. Many who receive assistance from Catholic Charities of Arkansas find the Christmas season particularly difficult. Please help us continue to help them by supporting St. Nicholas Partners this year. For more information, contact Megan Moore, office administrator of Catholic Charities of Arkansas at (501) 664-0340, ext. 379.
