Catholic Charities Gainesville provides services designed to help preserve and protect the life of the child, provide care for women and their children, and to assist in the building of families through adoption.
For more than 46 years, Catholic Charities Gainesville has served the local communities of Alachua, Bradford, Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy counties with charitable services. Our fundamental belief is that we have a responsibility to care for those in need by meeting basic human needs, restoring dignity, and assisting toward self-sufficiency.
By providing emergency financial assistance, food assistance, community outreach services, poverty reduction, and housing assistance, we are putting our beliefs into action to transform lives.
Services and information
- Adoption
Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.

Outstanding organization and phenomenal mission and cause. Recently attended the Gainesville Santa Crawl to benefit Catholic Charities and appreciate their commitment to those less fortunate in our community -- regardless of their religion. The Weekend Hunger Backpack Program is outstanding and such an incredible blessing to children who otherwise would not have food on the weekends. Thank you to all of the individuals who support this amazing organization.
