Poverty, Hunger and Homelessness. The Matthew 25 Collection allows the Church of Harrisburg to address the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing on a local level. The funds collected help to fund food banks, soup kitchens and other parish-supported projects that assist those in need. All of the funds collected benefit local needs.
Seventy-five percent of the monies collected are distributed to programs within the diocese to address the needs of the poor. Twenty-five percent of the monies are returned to parishes for their use in assisting others.
