Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago (“CCAC”) was founded more than a century ago to meet human needs through the Mission of Charity. A trusted partner and steward, CCAC has grown to be one of the largest human service providers in the Chicago metropolitan region.
We accompany anyone in need, regardless of their faith, gender, race, or ethnicity. In fact, the majority of the thousands of people we serve each day are not Catholic.
The same is true for the majority of the people who work with us – they partner with us because they are drawn to our values and mission.
We commit to being present to children, youth and families, especially to mothers and their babies – it is core to who we are. We commit to being present to families in crisis and to those coping with loss – it is core to who we are.

Website says this is a clothing drop off location. Phone number had a really long wait time with no option to speak with someone about donations. Walked all the way there with a lot of nice clothes and was turned away after they stated they do not accept clothing donations anymore. Please update your website so we don’t waste out time.

They never answer the phone and they keep you on hold for over 50 mins
