Catholic Charities serves those most in need and advocates for justice in the community. This two-pronged approach – direct service and advocacy – is grounded in the belief that a strong, vital and equitable community will support those most in need and enhance opportunity for all. It is our goal to engage the community, inspire public action and convene diverse stakeholders to advance the common good.

Leveraging expertise in public policy, government affairs, grassroots and grasstops organizing, Catholic Charities relies on the knowledge and partnership of our nearly 600 direct service staff, provider and community partners, clients and our in-house data analysis and research team (DART) to advance viable, evidence-based policy solutions.
