We hope you can join us as we celebrate what Catholic Charities of North Louisiana continues to do by helping those in need in our communities through our many social programs. CCNLA helps people not only meet their immediate needs with emergency assistance of rent and utilities, but our clients can also receive education on money management thru our weekly Money $chool classes, child safety and care. Parents can use merits they’ve earned for attending parenting classes to get baby clothes, diapers, formula, and other items for their small children thru Gabriel’s Closet. We offer a First-Time Home Buyers program and CCNLA is also a Gold Partner for State Benefits.

Last year CCNLA served 4406 individuals and 1083 households in north Louisiana, and we continue to bring Christ’s message of love to the poor and vulnerable by providing quality social services to families and individuals, without discrimination and in accordance with Catholic Social Teachings and professional standards.
