Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada (CCNN) is facing a budget shortfall projected at $1.5 million when federal cuts are enacted on June 30.
Because of this, CCNN is launching a community fundraising campaign to try to fill the budget gap.
According to Marie Baxter, CEO of CCNN, the budget shortfall represents a 20% reduction in the organization's overall funding.
CCNN says that they serve more than 40,000 people in the area each month, and if the cuts go through, there are likely no other organizations that would be able to fill the void.
"While we face a difficult road ahead, I humbly ask our community to stand with us and be a beacon of hope for those who need it most," says Baxter.
