RE: GIVING TUESDAY December 2, 2025
Dear Friends and Supporters,
On this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac by extending hope, dignity, and practical support to those who need it most. The Ladies of Charity of the United States of America (LCUSA) continues to serve individuals and families in crisis with compassion, creativity, and respect—just as we have for more than 400 years.
This year, our Giving Tuesday campaign focuses on strengthening our Mission Projects and Small Grants Program, which provides direct support to grassroots service initiatives led by local Ladies of Charity associations and our Junior Associations across the country. These grants empower our members to respond quickly to emerging needs in their own communities, whether it is assisting single mothers, offering educational support, providing emergency food and clothing, aiding migrant families, or supporting seniors living alone.
These are not large institutional projects. They are small acts of great love, carried out by women who know their neighbors, see their struggles, and act.
Your gift today, whether $25, $100, or more—will help us:
- Provide emergency support to families facing crisis
- Fund local programs that offer education, mentoring, and spiritual support
- Assist women, children, and the elderly living in poverty or isolation
- Sustain local Ladies of Charities service projects that would otherwise go unfunded
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue the work that St. Vincent called “the treasury of the poor”—giving not only resources, but hope.
Will you help us continue this mission?
Giving Tuesday is the perfect moment to honor our shared values and invest in meaningful, hands-on service.
Please make your tax-deductible donation today:
If you are unable to give financially, we ask for your prayers, your advocacy, and your voice in spreading the word. Together, we can ensure that the Ladies of Charity continue to walk alongside those who are suffering—and change lives for one person, one family, one community at a time.
With gratitude and hope,
Irene Siedlarczyk
President, Ladies of Charity USA
