Catholic Charities

Catholic Charities serves people of all faiths and walks of life through quality, compassionate, and effective human services.

Catholic CharitiesCatholic Charities' mission "to provide service to those in need, to advocate for justice and to call upon others to do the same" has been the core of their work since 1920. Building upon this mission, they measurably improve the lives of those they serve and empower individuals to reach their full potential.  When this is accomplished, lives are transformed and the benefits to the community can be exponential starting by improving the quality of life one person at a time.
