Keeping Our
Communities Warm
One Brick at a Time
In 2018, Catholic Charities responded to
individuals and families who live in poverty
by providing just over $37,000 in heating
assistance to 125 households who
otherwise would have been left out in the cold. Catholic
Charities provided these families and individual with one-
time heating/utility assistance where there was no other
help available.
Catholic Charities is conducting our annual fundraising
campaign entitled “Keeping Our Communities Warm One
Brick at a Time.” We are selling ‘bricks’ for a fireplace to
be displayed in our front window of our office in Oneonta.
We are asking community members to consider sponsoring
this fundraiser by purchasing a paper brick for our fireplace
for $25.00 each. If you would like to purchase a brick, you
can stop at our Cobleskill office at 489 West Main St.
between 8:30am and 4:30pm (closed 12:30-1:30 for lunch)
Mondays through Fridays, or you can mail a check to:
Catholic Charities Brick Fundraiser, 176 Main St., Oneonta,
NY 13820. *100% of the money raised will be used to help
keep children, seniors, and adults warm this winter.*
Thank you for your generous assistance.
If you place a labeled donation in the collection
basket, I will get it to the Catholic Charities office.
