CRS Rice Bowl is sponsored by the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). This Lenten program is conducted in Catholic parishes throughout the entire diocese. Donations are used to alleviate hunger and poverty around the world, in the United States, and even within our diocese. 75% of the funds received are used to support humanitarian programs in more than 100 countries and 25% of funds received are distributed within the diocese to support local efforts to decrease hunger and alleviate poverty.
