When you open your hands and hearts you join us in opening doors for the most vulnerable in our community. Blessings!
Our Annual report is entitled "The Last Resort" and each day when the doors open at 9:00 am the line is often very long with many who have come as their last resort.
"To proclaim the dignity and worth of each person and respond to human needs while striving to show the compassion of Christ"
For more than five decades, Catholic Outreach has been the place where compassion meets action.
What began in the 1970s with a simple Soup Kitchen and Clothing Bank has grown into a lifeline of services for our neighbors in crisis. Formally incorporated in 1988, Catholic Outreach has united more than fifty local churches, businesses, and caring individuals who share one mission: to meet basic human needs with dignity and compassion.
Over the years, programs have expanded in direct response to community need: financial aid for families in crisis, emergency food for those who are hungry, shelter for those without a home, literacy support for children, and a Day Center where people living on the streets can find showers, laundry, medical care, and—most importantly—a safe place to belong.
Housing has become a cornerstone of our work. St. Benedict Place and St. Martin Place now provide permanent homes for 62 individuals who once lived without stability. And in 2025, Mother Teresa Place opened its doors, offering 40 more apartments where people can finally move from surviving to truly living.
Your generosity ensures these doors remain open and new ones continue to be built. We invite you to join us in this mission of hope.
