WHAT WE DO
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Catholic Charities was established to meet human needs through the provision of basic and specialized services in the Mission of Charity. To the extent we are able, we are called to accompany anyone in need, regardless of their faith, gender, race or ethnicity.
Donate: Your financial gift helps individuals and families flourish for the long term. With your contribution, we can continue to help to those in need—with food, financial assistance and ongoing support. Visit catholicchairites.net and click on DONATE NOW to contribute.
Our work is informed by the Church’s teachings on the practices of charity, mercy and social justice, as well as the sacredness of human life and the core values of human family and community. Our core values start with compassion, respect and excellence in how we accompany each other, whether serving, receiving, leading or following. We are committed to the communities and people we serve. Today, our more than 1,200 employees offer 64 programs at over 200 locations, providing vital services in the most under-served neighborhoods in Lake and Cook counties. That said, our programs evolve as the needs of our communities evolve.
