Catholic Social Services Alaska compassionately serves the poor and those in need, strengthen individuals and families, and advocate for social justice. Catholic Social Service's Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services program (RAIS) provides a bridge for refugees from their former life experiences to the new skills required for success in the United States. Through a focus on economic self-sufficiency, community integration, and a respect for unique cultures, history and traditions, RAIS creates an environment of compassion and encouragement for refugees to flourish. All donations go directly to RAIS for distribution.
