For 100 years, Catholic Charities has supported all who turn to us for help through services touching almost every human service need. As an integral part of the fabric of Cook and Lake counties, we remain committed to the communities and people we serve. Our legacy of services began with our founding during World War 1 in 1917, beginning first to assist veterans, women, and children. Our programs have evolved as the needs of our communities evolve. Today, we offer 153 programs at 150 locations, providing vital services in the most under- served neighborhoods.
Every 30 seconds someone turns to Catholic Charities for help. As the largest Catholic Charities in the country, our nearly 3,000 employees support 1 million people across the Archdiocese. We help all who turn to us, those with or without religion, regardless of nationality and background. We believe anyone who turns to us for help deserves to be treated with respect and dignity on their paths to self-sufficiency. We leverage our partnerships and long-standing community relationships to provide the most innovative responses to our communities’ needs. More than 400 community partners, 300 parish partners, and 15,000 volunteers help us provide the best and most cutting edge programming to answer the needs of the most under-resourced communities. A full 92 cents of every dollar raised is invested directly into lifting our clients out of poverty on to paths of self-sufficiency.
