Overview
Mission

Through tangible assistance and other essential services, Catholic Charities affirms human dignity, meets basic human needs, strengthens families, builds communities, and empowers others to transform their lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Emergency assistance (ea) has traditionally been a core service of catholic charities agencies within the diocese of youngstown. In this tradition, the agency works to stabilize housing situations by making payments for utilities and rent on behalf of clients. Basic needs services such as emergency food relief and food pantry help the needy in both stark and portage counties. Meeting other basic needs, the agency distributes coats, school supplies, christmas gifts, and assists in attaining furniture and car repairs. The agency's ultimate goal is to address the emergent needs of people in our community, which often means connecting them with appropriate programs outside of the agency.
