Some people find their budgets will not stretch to include both food and prescription medicines. At Catholic Charities, we believe no one should be without prescribed medications because they cannot afford to pay for them. MedAssist staff help clients determine their eligibility and, if they qualify, complete applications to programs pharmaceutical companies have for the poor. Every dollar contributed provides $7 in medication for members of your community — that is a 700% return on your donated dollars.
