Your generosity fuels change.

Every year, Catholic Charities Twin Cities provides more than 25,000 children, families and adults life-changing services including access to deeply affordable housing, emergency shelter, meals, and mental health and addiction support. With your help, we can change even more lives by giving communities access to the critical resources they need to thrive.

For multiple tribute gifts, you have the option of setting up an honor gift registry or memorial registry. The person, couple or family being honored with a gift registry will receive a commemorative book, which lists all who contributed to the registry or memorial.

Give your way.

From corporate and foundation giving to donation matches, see all the ways you can support our transformative work.
