About Catholic Charities - Who We Serve
Children
and Families - Whether the need is a loving home for foster care
or help with substance abuse, Catholic Charities provides an integrated
system of services to children and families, including early learning centers
and Head Start programs with Early Childhood Educated Staff, parenting classes,
job placement training, and mental health counseling
Persons with
Disabilities - Catholic Charities provides services to children
and adults with disabilities, enabling them to live to their fullest potential.
Social and recreational activities, such as summer and day camp and monthly
dances, provide opportunities for enrichment. Life skills training and in-home

the number of people with emergency and transitional needs continue to grow.
Grounded in Catholic social teaching, Catholic Charities is motivated to
assist those with the most basic needs of food and shelter, but strives
to help move people beyond permanent crisis. Additional services include
job readiness training, mental health counseling and substance abuse support
groups

Adults - As our population ages, older adults and their families
are met with new challenges. Catholic Charities works with seniors to ensure
they maintain their dignity of life with attention to emotional, social
and spiritual needs. We offer a range of living options - from independent
living to skilled nursing care. For those elders who choose to remain in
their home, Catholic Charities helps to provide home visits, meal delivery,
transportation services and adult day activities. Catholic Charities' hospice
services extends its quality of care, compassion and support for those who
enter life's final journey.
