Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago

Annually, we assist more than 1 million people in Cook and Lake counties without regard to religious, ethnic, or economic background.  

Catholic Charities fulfils the Church's role in the mission of charity by providing compassionate, competent, professional services that strengthen and support individuals, families and communities.  By providing food, clothing, shelter, counseling, and other services to those in need, we bring hope to the hopeless.  Our clients can access a comprehensive network of services that range from food pantries to mental health counseling, affordable housing, senior services, and everything in between.

Our goal is to help each client become as self-sufficient as possible.
