A new coat for a child or a meal for a mother makes all the difference.

Catholic Charities cares for more than 35,000 individuals every year which takes a massive amount of resources. We rely on community support to help us go above and beyond in caring for the needs of those we serve. Many hands make for light work and more impact. Donations and collections from families, groups, churches and businesses support the programs and services within Catholic Charities.

We are committed to providing our clients with a complete circle of care to help them succeed.

Donated items help many different types of people. Donations of diapers, wipes and personal hygiene items support families and individuals receiving care across all our programs. To make a big impact, consider supporting our efforts by collecting our most needed items. Here is a flier you can use with your youth group, soccer team, prayer circle, family, or school to Help Us Help Them:

You can always shop our programs Amazon Wish Lists to see some of the most currently needed items.

At this time, we are not accepting furniture items. Please check back in the future to learn our current needs.

We do accept baby items! All of our programs have a need for baby diapers, wipes and formula.
