CHARLOTTE — Materials will soon be available for parishes and schools that would like to take part in the 2024 Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl campaign, which starts on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14.
CRS Rice Bowl gives Catholics across the U.S. the opportunity to assist the global human family through daily prayer, weekly fasting and almsgiving. Parishes and schools already in the program should receive CRS Rice Bowl items this month.
A parish or school that wants to confirm its upcoming CRS Rice Bowl shipment or order additional items can call the CRS toll-free number at 1-800-222-0025. Parishes and schools that wish to participate for the first time can also call CRS or go to crsricebowl.org to place an order for the number of CRS Rice Bowl items desired.
Materials ordered by Jan. 31 should arrive to parishes and schools in time for distribution before the start of the campaign.
