Why Should You Support the ACA?

Your Gift Stays in Your Community
Your donation will mean supporting a local charity that best understands local needs. We serve the 8 civil parishes that make up the Archdiocese of New Orleans: Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Charles, St. John, and Washington parishes.

We are Fiscally Responsible
We have been rated a 4-star charity, the highest rating possible, by CharityNavigator.org, a leading independent
non-profit ranking site.

Your Gift is Leveraged
Every dollar given to the ACA is leveraged many times more through donated goods and services.
