Volunteer

Without the generosity and tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers across the diocese, many of the programs offered through Catholic Charities would cease to exist. We appreciate the efforts made at the parish level to facilitate these important services.

The list shown here provides ideas for how you can volunteer at your parish or in the community.

Stories of Hope

Providing a Safe Environment

Life takes a positive turn for domestic violence victim.

“When I first came to Catholic Charities, I needed a place where my daughter and I would be safe,” domestic violence victim Sondra said.

Since leaving her boyfriend, Sondra has been making a lot of changes, including undergoing counseling. “My counselor is helping me take responsibility,” she said. “I can see more clearly now that my life is the result of choices I make, not just a series of things that happen.”

With Catholic Charities’ guidance, Sondra has also found a job in a food processing plant. “I was very fortunate. I found a job in about a month.”

But Sondra is proudest of the job she’s done with her daughter. “Even though I may have made of mess of things in my own life, I’ve been a good mom. I’ve always kept my eye on her. And now I’m so proud of her. I know she’ll do well.”
