Gala of the Arts raises funds to support
Catholic Charities'
Emergency Assistance Program

Catholic Charities' Emergency Services Programs is typically the first contact we have with a client, providing emergency shelter, emergency financial assistance, food, clothing, short-term case management, and referrals.

Through the generous support of people like you, this past year, the Emergency Services Programs have :

  • Provided nearly 2,600,000 meals to individuals in our community.
  • Served just under 200,000 clients faced with the unexpected in their lives.
  • Provided over 2,800 clients with emergency sheltering when they had nowhere else to turn.

The 2 million dollars Catholic Charities distributes to prevent homelessness saved 24 million taxpayer dollars that would have been spent on housing for the same number of people in a shelter.
