Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse, Inc.
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse proclaims Christ's Gospel of Life and promotes human dignity by alleviating poverty and strengthening individuals and families.
As Catholic Charities, we labor in the streets inviting and serving those who have been left out to know and experience the tremendous and abundant love of God through Jesus Christ. Called by our Diocesan Bishop, we commit ourselves to breaking down walls of division that keep sisters and brothers separated from one another, excluded, or rendered disposable by our society. With joy, through prayer and action, we resolve to build bridges of hope, mercy, and justice toward the creation of a culture of communal care responsive to the cries of those who are poor.

What's the point of having a phone system if you never call your clients back. I have a neighbor who uses you as well she said she calls and Everytime they never call back and the same for me what's the point communication should not be punished by repayepees I have OCD yes I do send a lot of emails but what happened to two business days now that is essentially gone as well I'm glad I will be switching to a new payee I do not recommend them what so ever

2 am in morning pouring rain tired and just needed place to sleep. Called to check and see if there was available space and Karla said even with police referral she would not allow a check in-because I would’ve had to have been there between 7 and 9. I wasn’t even close to La Crosse at that time. Maybe not such a big deal but wanting to know my name before telling me they’re was space available but then refusing? Even with police referral?? I don’t utilize this space on a weekly or even monthly basis! Tired and pouring rain make the roads even more dangerous. What gives catholic charities WHAT GIVES
Highly disappointed and just another reminder of why La Crosse is a failing community in my opinion. The whole city from driving any road, shopping and common decency is just failing to even meet a minimum standard. Sad

Asked for help for a hotel voucher for an acquaintance. Was told they don’t do hotel vouchers where I’m at.
Come across the border,
Take a bus to a different city,
You’ll be taken care of by this organization.
I guess being an American citizen doesn’t qualify a person.
