Our prayers go out to the people of Nepal and Tibet as they search for survivors of a Himalayan glacier collapse that led to a massive deadly flash flood that has killed nearly 600 people thus far. Over 1,900 workers are reported missing at hydropower plants in Nepal. China reports nearly 600 people are missing in Tibet. Many of the missing are religious pilgrims heading to or from Mount Kailash where the glacier collapse and avalanche took place, including 90 Americans who were near the Nepal-Tibet border during the flood.

The death toll is expected to rise as residents and rescuers search for survivors in the devastated river valleys. Upwards of 250,000 people in Nepal need support. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is working through Caritas Nepal to respond to urgent humanitarian needs in providing emergency safe shelter, food, water, medical care, emergency supplies, and counseling support to those in affected areas.

As in past disasters, Catholic Charities Diocese of Toledo is collecting and forwarding donations dollar for dollar to Catholic Relief Services for this international humanitarian relief effort. You may donate on our secure website: https://catholiccharitiesnwo.org/how-to-help/ selecting Humanitarian Relief Nepal as your donation designation. Please make checks out to Catholic Charities Diocese of Toledo, noting Humanitarian Relief Nepal, and mail to Catholic Charities Diocese of Toledo, One SeaGate, Suite 2300, Toledo, OH 43604. Thank you for generously supporting those in need!

New footage exclusively obtained by The New York Times showed the aftermath of the moment a giant glacier broke away from the top of a ridge in the Himalayas, setting off a deadly flood.

Hats off to these community leaders and United Way of Williams County! Our own Darby Hildebrandt, Catholic Charities Williams County Program Coordinator and Crisis Navigator, is holding Dolly Parton's right arm :-) We appreciate all your efforts to help those who come to us in need of assistance and support. God Bless!

We’re so grateful for these amazing women who are exceptional leaders here in our communities!

Meet some of recipients of your United Way of Williams County 2027 funding. This year we focused on meeting immediate and necessary needs such as food, rent and utility assistance, medical equipment, and support for survivors of violence.

We listened to our communities and local agencies and the need in these sectors is growing everyday with many people struggling to remain in their homes, pay rising utility and food costs, and raise families in a safe and stable environment.

So, we made very difficult decisions to limit the total number of funded agencies and in turn focus more resources to help support each of these causes.

We are continually grateful for the trust placed in our organization by our donors because without them, the landscape of our communities would look much different, so thank you to everyone who contributed to our annual campaign, joined us at an event, or volunteered their time.

Want to learn more about these agencies, how to support them or find out how you can make a difference for Williams County families? Head to our website at: unitedwaywc.org.
