Dinnertime Displays
Hopefully, you spent some time finding out about amazing service organizations around our diocese during the dinner break. Want to know more? Check out this additional information:
CATHOLIC CHARITIES of the Diocese of Youngstown
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Youngstown serves the six northeastern counties of Ohio: Ashtabula, Columbiana, Mahoning, Portage, Stark and Trumbull. Within this region, Catholic Charities has three social service agencies and a housing organization, all of which sponsor numerous locations.
Faithful to many of the priorities established decades ago, Catholic Charities remains devoted to helping meet basic human needs, strengthening families, building communities and empowering low-income people. Although advances in technology and science have transformed society, individuals and families still find themselves in desperate situations that require the basic necessities for living. Catholic Charities continues to provide the traditional services, such as emergency assistance with food, clothing and shelter, while developing new programs and services to meet emerging needs. Comprehensive senior support programming, a domestic violence shelter, outreach and ministry to immigrant and migrant populations and pregnancy and family support services are some of the more recent programs Catholic Charities has developed.
As communities expand and change, the needs of its residents also transform. Since every community is unique, our locations offer a different combination of services and programs to meet local needs.
All of Catholic Charities’ services and programs are provided to qualifying persons regardless of faith, age, sex, race or ability to pay. You do not have to be Catholic to receive assistance at Catholic Charities. http://ccdoy.org/
