We respond to everyday crises, every day – from domestic violence to mental health, feeding the hungry to comforting the afflicted, protecting the most vulnerable, and helping people help themselves to rise above adversity.Sometimes, we are among the first to answer the call. Other times, we are the second responders – the ones who stick around and do the everyday work after the immediate crisis has passed. We are there every day – providing counsel, education, mentorship, and support.Catholic Charities exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, to minister works of mercy and promote the dignity of all people. 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.Serving Over 100,000 People Each YearCatholic Charities ministers to the greatest and most fundamental needs of our community – advocating for the voiceless, hungry, addicted, abused, and forgotten individuals and families annually throughout the area, regardless of race, religion, creed, or socioeconomic status.
