Called to participate.
We promote the social justice mission of Catholic Charities to the larger community, Catholic and non-Catholics alike, and inspire like-minded people to join us in action.
Upholding human dignity.
We work with Catholic schools, parishes, organizations and community partners to host donation drives, inspire volunteering, and educate people on Catholic Social Teaching and issues that impact the community as a whole.
“Our faith calls us to participate in society, to uphold the dignity of every person. We make it easy for you to do.”
Donation Drives
Food matters. Rent support matters. Clothing matters. But what we’re really saying when we help those in need is, “You matter.”

Volunteering
Giving of your time and talent is no small thing. It is a sign of great love and respect for others, and helps us deliver on our mission to serve others as Christ calls us to do. Your time matters.
Education

Every gift, every hour, and every act of kindness makes a difference for the people we serve. Whether you give financially, volunteer your time, or partner with us through your business, you help create hope, restore dignity, and strengthen our community.
Archdiocesan Support
The Archdiocese of Louisville is the largest non-governmental supporter of Catholic Charities, contributing in-kind support as well as an annual contribution of cash to underwrite agency operations (in FY 2023, just under $1 million). The support the Archdiocese provides comes from various sources, and a significant portion is raised through the annual Catholic Services Appeal. The CSA supports numerous other programs around the Archdiocese, and it makes the work of Catholic Charities possible. We are grateful for your support of the CSA.
