Tips for CRS Rice Bowl 

Check out parish resources and/or school resources. You’ll find planning resources, bulletin announcements, activities and prayers like stations of the cross, stories of hope, and more!

Also, make sure you check out CRS’ virtual events for 2022!

Consider creating an online Community Giving page and share it with your community to make giving easy throughout Lent.

Make sure you order CRS Rice Bowls for your community. If you want the same amount as last year then you do not need to order, but to make any changes please order at least 3 weeks before Ash Wednesday.

After Lent:

• Host a virtual prayer service to end Lent and CRS Rice Bowl using the Offertory Prayer to End the Lenten Season found in the CRS Rice Bowl Coordinator’s Guide. Remind your community of the ways they can give their CRS Rice Bowl gifts.
• If you have an online Community Giving page, invite families to make their donations during the prayer service, and watch your community get closer to reaching its goal!
• Schedule a designated date, time, and location for your community to turn in their CRS Rice Bowl donations if they do not want to give online or via mail. Send in all collected funds to Catholic Relief Services Attn: CRS Rice Bowl P.O. Box 17090 Baltimore, MD 21297
