About This Cause
As one of the primary social service organizations in Northwest Indiana, Catholic Charites is at the forefront of mission opportunities helping to meet the needs of those who are struggling. Catholic Charities provides these essential services all year long to our neighbors in need throughout Northwest Indiana including: • Helping individuals and families at risk of eviction and service disconnection because they cannot pay their rent/mortgage, gas, electric, and water bill. • Providing nutritional food to individuals and families that are struggling to make ends. • Free confidential counseling, pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, support, and education for pregnant women. • Essential immigration and representation services to immigrants, refugees, and their families to help ease their burden and enable them to contribute and thrive in their communities. • And so much more that benefits needy children, adults and families living in Lake, La Porte, Porter, and Starke Counties. We are committed to restoring hope, dignity, and a sense of security for individuals of all ages. Our comprehensive network of social services focuses on individuals and families who are struggling financially, at the edge between poverty and basic subsistence level, and those who are marginalized in Northwest Indiana. Often people in need are facing multiple challenges and need a helping hand to reach stability. At Catholic Charities, we help our neighbors in need create a brighter future for themselves and their families by providing aid and support during crisis circumstances and then work to find a plan for stability and self-sufficiency. Whenever possible, we aim to pave a road toward empowerment, enabling those we serve to thrive! Population Served We focus our attention on people (individuals and families) who live in poverty and are marginalized in other ways. Our goal is to stabilize the current situation and to work with our clients to create a plan for a brighter future. Approach • Build upon people's strengths and address interpersonal relationships and environmental barriers that inhibit growth. • Provide services that increase a client's sense of competency in coping with life challenges and environmental demands. • Provide services drawing upon a client's social support network and advocate for social changes that limit opportunities for growth. Values • We believe in the dignity of every person • We make a choice, exercise an option, to serve poor and vulnerable people • We believe that all persons have rights and responsibilities • We promote the call to participation in family and community
