food drives
Food is critical to sustain life and good health. But what if you can't afford quality food for your family - or any food at all? Catholic Charities helps hundreds of people every day with one of the most basic needs in life - food.
Individuals can receive help from our Emergency Assistance Centers. The primary services offered include: food assistance, rent assistance, utility assistance, transitional housing assistance and counseling.
