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.

Too many hours waiting in person to tell me no for my Emergency crisis having no heat is not an emergecy in my home and no gas. And not just because they send you there don't mean you will get any type support although they have a Big name in offering different support for different situations. We wouldn't come to Catholic Charities if it wasn't a place offering to help in need of crisis. I'm in one. It's winter and freezing! What amount money in world in their system claiming what your emergency that occurred shouldn't happened to you! It happens to people everyday. I was sent by 311 and it's been very disappointing that even the people who rarely ask for any help never qualifies on their principles of living. You wouldn't be there if you didn't need help! Bottom line! Some of us barely getting by although we have some kind roof over our heads. But it doesn't mean cause you don't tell the world by tweets you're not in a crisis situation of daily necessity living. A one person household doesn't qualify making minimum wage. I don't believe it!
Taxpayer: my taxes go towards programs too. What about us when we are in need. I pray for people like myself that truly needs the assistance. No one intentionally, wants be there.
