Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay received a $10,000 emergency grant from Catholic Charities USA to assist with damage caused by the recent flooding in northeast Wisconsin. The grant money, in the amount of $200 per family with an income of less than $60,000 per year, will be distributed to individuals upon request and can be used for costs related to cleanup, replacement items ruined in the flood, purchase of a dehumidifier, daily living expenses, security deposit assistance, and temporary housing. Ted Phernetton, the Director of Catholic Charities said in a statement that “we hope that every little bit of assistance helps our neighbors who have been impacted by the flood waters.”
