CINCINNATI - There's plenty of ways for you to help out the victims of Superstorm Sandy.

One is through the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. They are teaming up with the Catholic Charities USA and collecting donations to send to the East Coast.

They are asking for monetary donations, and all proceeds will be given directly to families in need.

"This is a time when we need to come together as a nation and Church, helping those of our brothers and sisters who are being left vulnerable and in need," CEO of Catholic Charities of SW Ohio Ted Bergh said in a news release. "It doesn't matter where we live, we are all impacted by the damage and suffering caused by this storm."

To donate, go to www.catholiccharitiesSWO.org .
