What We Do

For nearly a century, Catholic Charities has been the first responders serving on the frontlines of everyday crisis: providing food to the hungry, safety to the endangered, and support to the suffering. We provide life-changing -- and often life-saving -- services to our neighbors in need. Catholic Charities reaches over 280,000 people every year through services available to all regardless of race, religion, creed, or socioeconomic status. Our goal is to minister to the greatest and most fundamental needs of our community. We provide resources, support and guidance through our programs and services; Behavioral Health Services, Domestic Violence Services, Emergency & Supportive Food Services, Seniors, Immigration Legal Services and a Microbusiness & Asset Development Program. Our work can only happen with the support from donors, volunteers and staff! That is THE POWER OF COMMUNITY!
