Our Mission and Values

Catholic Charities Twin Cities serves those most in need. We are a leader at solving poverty, creating opportunity, and advocating for justice in the community. Our programs for children, families and adults annually help nearly 23,000 people, regardless of faith, background or circumstance. Through our advocacy efforts, Catholic Charities serves as a tireless voice for those who often go unheard. Our work would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers and donors.

As the need for services continues to increase and becomes more complex, Catholic Charities adapts and responds to help those who are suffering in our community. With your support, we prevent poverty, meet basic needs in times of crisis and create pathways out of poverty.

Catholic Charities serves all people, regardless of faith. Our mission is rooted in Christian faith and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. These values inspire the work that we do for and with those most in need.
