What We Do

Catholic Charities exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, to minister works of mercy and promote the dignity of all people.

For nearly a century, Catholic Charities has ministered to the greatest and most fundamental needs of our community – providing food to the hungry, safety to the endangered, and support to those who are suffering – regardless of race, religion, creed, or socioeconomic status.

Together with countless volunteers and donors, and in conjunction with other public and private organizations, we are harnessing the strength of the human spirit and the power of community to shine a light for those in darkness.

Interesting Info
  • 325,000 unites of service to individuals and families.
  • In 2024, we served food to people in 40 Nebraska Counties.
  • 1,400 educators served through our Mental Health Symposium.
