Our programs

Many programs
One mission

Our programs focus on those affected by poverty, abuse, homelessness or living with disability, helping now and in the long term.

By offering genuine support, resources, and compassion—especially to those who feel unloved or forgotten—we help restore human dignity and fulfill Christ’s command to love one another.

Donate to Catholic Charities

Your generosity makes a difference for people in crisis

There are numerous opportunities to take part in our mission, including making a financial contribution.

Each extra dollar raised directly boosts our funding, supplementing the support we receive through federal and state grant programs, private foundations, and nominal fees for specific services.

Volunteer to Help

Volunteers make our work possible

Without the dedication of our volunteers, our mission simply wouldn’t be possible.

They reliably and joyfully join us in spreading love, often discovering that what they gain far outweighs what they give.
