The Catholic Charities New York is a federation of 90 agencies throughout the 10 counties of the Archdiocese of New York, which delivers, coordinates and advocates for quality human services and programs touching almost every human need. We seek to uphold the dignity of each person by serving the basic needs of the poor, troubled, frail and oppressed of all religions. We collaborate with parishes, as well as non-Catholic and Catholic partners, to build a compassionate and just society

For 150 years, Catholic Charities has served the most poor and vulnerable members of our community. Today, Catholic Charities is the largest comprehensive social service nonprofit in the Twin Cities region. In 2012, Catholic Charities helped more than 32,000 people by providing food, shelter, housing, health care and support to achieve greater independence. We meet each individual where they are, treat them with dignity and respect, and give them the help they need, regardless of faith

Catholic Charities sees the face of God in those in need. By providing food, clothing, shelter and counseling, we bring hope to the hopeless in the city of Chicago and its suburbs.

With 153 programs at 154 locations throughout Cook and Lake counties, we serve virtually every neighborhood and parish in the Chicagoland area. Through our broad spectrum of services, we annually assist more than 1 million persons in Cook and Lake counties without regard to religious, ethnic or economic background.

For more than 98 years, Catholic Charities has empowered families and individuals of all races and religious backgrounds to realize their full potential. Our services help people from the point of conception through the last stages of their lives. We keep mothers and their babies well-fed, prepare children in low-income families for school, keep youth in school and out of gangs, counsel and give job training to adults with economic troubles, provide affordable housing for seniors, and organize in-home care services for seniors who need help caring for themselves.

Only 8 cents of every dollar donated goes toward our administrative expenses; the rest goes directly to help clients. While Catholic Charities raises funds separately from the Archdiocese of Chicago, we serve as the social service arm of the church.

Catholic Charities USA provides services to people in need, advocates for justice in social structures, and calls on the entire church and other people of good will to do the same
