Niagara County District Director, Catholic Charities
It’s been a challenging year for many in our community facing price increases, tighter budgets and job cuts – and the need for Catholic Charities’ services only continues to grow here in Niagara County. For more than 100 years, Catholic Charities has provided hope to our neighbors who may be struggling to make ends meet, or who are facing challenges impacting their health and well-being.
Catholic Charities’ programs offered in Niagara County gave hope to more than 20,200 individuals of all ages and across all faiths last year alone. These programs include basic emergency assistance, including support for food, prescriptions, personal care items and heat; two behavioral health clinics to provide outpatient care for children and their families; and the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) federal nutrition program. We also work with dozens of families to address youth problematic behaviors through our multisystemic therapy program, and offer an in-school social work program in local Catholic elementary schools.
However, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the continued generosity and support from the community. The annual Appeal helps to fund the many programs administered by Catholic Charities in addition to several ministries through the “Fund for the Faith.” To provide hope for all, we need help from all our neighbors to reach and surpass Appeal 2025’s goal of $8.5 million by June 30.
Your financial support is deeply appreciated.
We hope that all our neighbors in Niagara County know that, if anyone is in need, you can call us at 716-282-2351 to find help through Catholic Charities. We have offices in Niagara Falls and Lockport.
