The agency has earned national reaccreditation through COA, the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services, which certifies that all programs meet best practice social service standards.
This certification is the result of a monumental effort by Catholic Charities staff throughout the Diocese working together to modify and improve the delivery of services to our deserving clients.
The agency partners with many volunteers who are dedicated to the success of the local Catholic Charities operations.
Advisory boards are excellent examples of such partnerships.
The local advisory boards are comprised of special individuals who serve as the agency's vital link to the needs of our communities; they provide invaluable advocacy and support.
Over the years, these advisory boards have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure that the mission of Catholic Charities remains viable and responsive.
Our vast array of "Continuum of Care" services include counseling programs, senior services and guardianship, health care, residential care, independent living, special education, emergency shelter care, family preservation services, food and clothing distribution, St.
