What We Do

"Together, we can create a community and a world that honors the dignity of every human being. We have a hard road in front of us, but it is the only road worth taking. We invite you to join us."

Michael Goar, President and CEO

Catholic Charities Twin Cities serves those most in need and advocates for justice in our community.

With 25 programs in 21 sites across the Twin Cities, we work to prevent poverty before it starts, respond to immediate crises, and offer pathways to greater stability. Our programs for children, families and adults help nearly 23,000 people every year — regardless of faith, background, or circumstance.

Our mission goes beyond direct services, with an advocacy agenda that focuses on improving outcomes for the people we serve and addressing systemic inequities.

As the demand for our services continues to increase, Catholic Charities adapts to respond to the evolving needs of our community. Our work would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers, advocates, and donors: join us today!

 

We work with children and their families to provide a good start in life through a nurturing environment, comfort in crisis, and mental health counseling for bright, strong futures.

We serve older adults and people with disabilities, helping them live independently in their homes and connecting homeless elders to housing.

By meeting the needs of those most vulnerable and advocating on their behalf, we help improve the quality of life for the entire community. With the support of our generous donors, advocates and volunteers, we are providing hope for a brighter future for so many in need.

At places like the Dorothy Day Place, Higher Ground, Family Service Center and the Opportunity Center we provide meals, shelter and opportunities to find jobs, secure a stable home and medical care for those who need it.
