Family Services

Supporting families has been a priority for Catholic Charities since our founding. In partnership with our clients, we provide an array of supportive services for low-income families, including many who are recovering from trauma.

We believe a stable home environment creates a resilient, healthy future for children and parents.

  • Help finding resources like mental health counseling, financial wellness & other services
  • Case management and group classes
  • Infant supplies

We are not currently accepting new families or external referrals.
