3. Open food pantries in two more regional locations.

4. Continue to provide partnerships with state, federal and municipal governments in providing a hand to those that need our help.

There are two things that set Catholic Charities apart from other human service agencies.  First is the tremendous breadth of services we offer.  We help those with developmental disabilities, homeless families, immigrants, young parents, elders, those in recovery from addiction, those who have basic needs and need emergency assistance and stabilization, among others.  Second is the extent of compassion, love and care with which our staff and volunteers serve those most in need in our community.  People of all faiths and people of no faith are welcome at Catholic Charities.
