Catholic Charities
About the Organization
Catholic Charities is one of the largest and most effective social service organizations in Colorado, founded in 1927. We serve tens of thousands of people in crisis annually. We offer shelter, affordable housing, early childhood education, counseling, emergency services, rent and utilities, employment, food and clothing, case management, family and senior services and much more at 76 locations across the Front Range and on the Western Slope.
From Greeley to Glenwood Springs, Fort Collins to south Denver, we collaborate with corporate partners, local businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, medical facilities, educational institutions, parishes and other community partners.
As the former Archbishop of Washington, D.C., James Aloysius Hickey is credited with declaring, "We serve the homeless not because they are Catholic, but because we are Catholic. If we don't care for the sick, educate the young, care for the homeless, then we cannot call ourselves the church of Jesus Christ."
We work to alleviate and find solutions to some of the most pressing challenges that individuals and families in our community face each day. We invite you to join us in our mission to serve those who need a hand up in Colorado.
