Catholic Charities is a network of organizations that provide social services to individuals and families in need, regardless of their religious background. Founded on the principles of compassion and charity, these organizations offer assistance in areas such as food security, housing, healthcare, and education. Operating in many communities across the United States and around the world, Catholic Charities aims to alleviate poverty and promote social justice. They rely on donations, volunteers, and partnerships with local agencies to deliver their services effectively and support those facing various challenges in their lives.
