Overview

Mission

Assistance to the homeless

What it reported doing in 2025

The catholic worker re-located its ministry from nolan street to building 10 (6000 sq ft) on the campus of towne twin village (ttv) on may 22, 2024. It continues to be an all-volunteer ministry that targets individuals who are homeless, as well as, now previously chronically homeless individuals who are now residents at ttv. The chief services for all guests are meals, breakfast and lunch, monday through friday. All of those coming in for meals may hang out using our wi-fi, visit friends, attend bible studies, watch movies, get a haircut or receive nail grooming services. Cw serves about 1000 meals per week. Guests who are still homeless are also provided: hygiene supplies, socks, underwear, back packs, gently used clothing and shoes, cold weather gear (jackets, sleeping bags, blankets, gloves, beanies, scarfs), public transit tickets, and access to postal mail and local/long-distance phone services, as well as, laundry and shower services. In october of 2024, cw opened a hospice and medical respite program in 2 apartments newly built (next door to the cw building) for this purpose. These are reserved for those who are homeless and need a safe comfortable place to spend their last weeks of life or to recuperate from a severe injury, illness or surgery. In addition to being able to access any the services at the new center, cw volunteers provide all meals and wrap- around support services as needed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
