Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago was founded more than a century ago to meet human need. We accompany anyone in need regardless of their faith, race, gender, or ethnicity. By unifying and collaborating across the Catholic community during the 1917 global pandemic, our founders envisioned that together we might make a bigger difference for our community, and we did . . . and still do. A trusted partner and steward, Catholic Charities has grown to be one of the largest human service providers in the Chicago metropolitan region, covering Cook and Lake counties.
