At Catholic Charities, we serve all people. We don’t care who you are or why you need our help. We simply want to serve those who need us most. Sometimes our client is an at-risk child and sometimes our client is an isolated senior. Regardless, we can’t reach our clients without the help of our community.

Children are our future. Loving our children today produces loving adults tomorrow that are kind, compassionate, and productive. Every child deserves a loving and safe home that encourages them to reach their greatest potential. Not only does that child grow up to be a contributing member of society, but that child grows up to help our community thrive.
